Jets WR challenges Brandon Marshall to footrace for jersey number image

Jets backup receiver Saalim Hakim wears the No. 15 jersey, the same number worn by Brandon Marshall in Chicago.

If Marshall wants to wear it in New York, he'll have to beat Hakim in a 40-yard dash.

Hakim challenged Marshall in a video he later deleted from his Instagram page Wednesday night. In the video, Hakim says Marshall can have the number if he beats him. But, if Hakim wins, ''he can give me $25,000 and he can have the number.''

That is one way to welcome the five-time Pro Bowl receiver into town. Marshall has worn No. 15 in seven out of his nine NFL seasons. He wore No, 19 in Miami.
