Colts' Michael Pittman Jr. Won't Give Up #11 Jersey to Carson Wentz, We're Cool Tho - TMZ

Pittman says he has a TON of respect for the QB -- calling him a proven winner -- but when it comes to #11, he's not willing to part ways with the digits he rocked his rookie season in Indy.

"Yeah, so I spoke to [Carson] and he was just seeing how locked in I was to #11, and I told him I was locked in -- and he was like, 'That’s cool, bro, because I’m probably gonna switch anyway.'".

Pittman says he's already making plans to get together with Wentz so they can start working out and training ..
