Packers rookie Darnell Savage changes uniform number to 21

Roster cuts allowed Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage to change uniform number. Given No. 26 to begin his NFL career, the rookie is now No. 21, which was vacated by recently released defensive back Natrell Jamerson.

The player wearing No. 21 before Jamerson was safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who is now a member of the Chicago Bears.

The name and number combination has some significance outside football. Atlanta based rapper Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph is known as”21 Savage.”

Savage wore No. 4 and No. 26 while at Maryland.

No other player on the initial 53-man roster changed numbers.
