I think it's great and I hope he helps take the Colts to a Super Bowl and then tells the media why he chose his number.

He said that he was "pissed" when he was drafted in the 2nd round last month, and not the first round. And that was made a big deal of in the press. So, choosing number 10
AND telling the press that that is why he chose that number one month later is calling attention to himself ...... at least that's how I view a rookie wide receiver calling attention to oneself.
It will be fine if he has a good season. But if he tears his UCL in the 5th game of the season, his assertion of being pissed and choosing number 10 won't be a flattering look for a rookie wide receiver. Hopefully he will stay healthy, play well, and make it a moot point.
