Good news: If you bought a Jalen Ramsey jersey recently, he seemingly won’t be switching to No. 2 like he wanted to.
Bad news: He’s still considering a switch, but he’s also thinking about keeping No. 20.
On Friday night during the draft, Ramsey asked fans on Twitter whether he should wear No. 5 or 20 this season. He added a note that he won’t be wearing No. 2, but he’s not going to get into it because “that’s a joke.”
It’s unclear exactly why he won’t switch to No. 2 after making it very clear that it was his number of choice, but he doesn’t sound happy about it.
Five or twenty??
Won’t get into why it won’t be 2 kus that’s a joke lol

He also sent a cryptic tweet about the process of switching jersey numbers, posting a video of Michael Jordan saying, “That’s all I needed for him to do that, and it became personal with me.”

Both Ramsey and Robert Woods said publicly that they wanted to switch to No. 2 after the NFL approved a rule that allows defensive backs and wide receivers (among other positions) to wear single-digits. Woods said he would switch to it “right away” after wearing the number in high school and college.
Ramsey said he and Woods were trying to work something out, but that’s the last we heard about the situation until now. Ramsey even posted a photoshopped picture of himself in No. 2 recently, making it obvious that he wanted the number.
So now he’s between 5 and 20. Which number do you think he should go with?
