The NFL owners approved a rule change on Wednesday proposed by the Kansas City Chiefs loosening jersey number rules. Get ready for a lot more players rocking single-digit jerseys.
Currently running backs, receivers, linebackers, tight ends and defensive backs must wear uniform numbers within a certain numerical range. The change means all the cool, single-digit uniforms that only kickers, punters and QBs can wear are now allowed on more players. It also means uniform numbers will look a lot more like more college where there are no such regulations and anyone can pretty much wear any number.
