There’s a new starting quarterback in Los Angeles, but Matthew Stafford won’t be wearing a different number than the one he’s worn in his 12 NFL seasons. It appears John Wolford has given up his No. 9 jersey to Stafford after the team revealed its new quarterback’s number on Twitter.
The Rams posted a quick teaser with a TV on the beach showing Stafford wearing No. 9, striking “LA” with his hands. We’ll have to wait and see if Stafford gave Wolford anything to get his favorite jersey number, but it always seemed likely that the veteran would keep No. 9 after the trade to the Rams.
