Say if your a WR in college and your jersey number is 1. In the NFL, having the jersey number 1 as a WR just doesn't seem right.

Anybody ever noticed this?

Because they won't allow it.

It's amazing that so many football fans don't realize the relatively simple rules behind football numbering and the difference between college and the NFL.

The NFL used to have very strict rules about jersey numbers. I think Lynn Swann was 22 in college but those numbers are reserved for backs, so he had to wear 88. Not sure if they have been changed or not.

Because the NFL has rules on jersey numbers

1-19 for kickers, punters, QBs
20-49 for RBs and DBs
40-49, 80-89 for TEs
10-19, 80-89 for WRs
50-79 for O-Line
50-79, 90-99 for DL
50-59, 90-99 for LBs

It's not allowed in the NFL, you must wear the available #'s for the position you play.



ps - have you also noticed that two players can have the same # in college? just cant be on the field at the same time.

Jamal, that's enough internet for today. Take your 16 year old arse and go to bed.
