Something I Been Noticed About Jersey Numbers...

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.

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.
