The NFL approved a new rule for certain position groups to be able to have different numbers. Now, it’s not just quarterbacks: all skill position players can wear single-digit uniform numbers. That has led plenty of fans and players to mull over the possibility of their favorite players changing numbers.
There is a caveat to that, though. Players who request number changes would be required to purchase the existing inventory of unsold jerseys with their current number on them.
There have already been some notable Vikings players walking back on the number switch. RB Dalvin Cook reportedly considered switching, but decided to stay with No. 33. WR Justin Jefferson said he will stick with No. 18. CB Cameron Dantzler alluded to staying with No. 27.
