Linebacker Myles Jack is in his second stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers. And he’ll be wearing a new number out on the field. Though he wore No. 51 for the team last season, that jersey is now occupied by rookie outside linebacker Nick Herbig.
Instead, Jack will wear No. 16 for the Steelers, according to an updated roster on the team website. An interesting choice, a linebacker wearing 16 but recent expansion of jersey numbers for positions now offer that kind of flexibility. Prior to Pittsburgh, he wore No. 44 for his six seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
