I understand number 7 more than 18.. yes some great players/leaders have worn 18 but the ones who wear #7 seem to be more electric and go on to have better NFL careers. In my opinion

It’s the prestige of Rondell Mealey’s induction into the Independence Bowl Hall of Fame!

After last year's boondoggle with O giving 7 to Giles, the reputation needs to be restarted.

I know from 2008 to now. Which is the time frame that the #7 was given to the playmaker.

Nothing at all. Unless the number is retired none of them mean anything.

It carries religious significance. This is undoubtedly the reason. ;-)
------------------------------------
7 has had significance in almost every major religion.

In the Old Testament the world was created in six days and God rested on the seventh, creating the basis of the seven-day-week we use to this day. In the New Testament the number seven symbolizes the unity of the four corners of the Earth with the Holy Trinity. The number seven is also featured in the Book of Revelation (seven churches, seven angels, seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven stars). The Koran speaks of seven heavens and Muslim pilgrims walk around the Kaaba in Mecca (Islam’s most sacred site) seven times. In Hinduism there are seven higher worlds and seven underworlds, and in Buddhism the newborn Buddha rises and takes seven steps.
