Josh Reynolds is poised for a big year in an increased role, and he’ll go into the season with a new jersey number to boot. After asking fans last month if he should change his number to his old college number, Reynolds is indeed making the switch.
He announced the news on Twitter Wednesday, sharing a photo of himself in a No. 11 jersey – the same number he wore at Texas A&M. For the first three years of his NFL career, Reynolds wore No. 83 with the Rams.
With Brandin Cooks no longer in L.A., Reynolds will most likely take over as the No. 3 receiver with the Rams. Of course, that’s barring a big addition at wideout in the draft, but Sean McVay said the team’s decision to trade Cooks was a “big vote of confidence” for Reynolds.
He was a part-time starter in 2018 after Cooper Kupp tore his ACL, and again in 2019 when Cooks was out with a concussion, but now Reynolds will have his biggest role yet – and could be in for a breakout year.
