For weeks, Chris Thompson would show up at Redskins Park and walk downstairs to the locker room, where he’d pull out the stool in front of a beaten-up metal contraption, put his things away and sit down.
On the top shelf of that locker, affixed at eye level, was a name tag with Thompson’s last name and his jersey number. Only Thompson, who wore No. 35 in his first offseason with the team and No. 25 since the start of his rookie season, had No. 37 printed after his name.
“The number they want me to wear when they call me up,” Thompson would say.
