Like I said, I don't know. There may be some other rule I don't know about, but I think it would be cool for Collins to get #18.
Ok, it seems like we go through this every year, but here is the rule and the reason why an O-lineman will never wear #18.
Rule 7, Section 1, Article 4-a-3
At least five linemen must wear jerseys numbered 50-79.
The penalty would be illegal formation, 5yds from the previous spot. For arguments sake, Collins could feasibly wear 18 IF there were five other linemen wearing 50-79 EVERY PLAY.
Lineman will just have to start their own number tradition. Maybe in a few yrs we can debate who should wear #70 (Ciron Black and Collins) have done well wearing it!

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I've seen people just give a blanket statement that linemen can't wear #s outside the range, but hadn't seen the cite to the actual rule.
Agree on the new tradition with linemen.
