Late last week, San Francisco 49ers rookie safety Malik Mustapha posed the question of whether he should change his jersey number before the start of the regular season, which begins this week.
You should be wearing 6 by the time practice starts next week https://t.co/VBrYXrdeqI

He’s not the only rookie making a change. Per The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, Mustapha is one of four rookies who received a makeover:
CB Renardo Green, 0
S Malik Mustapha, 6
WR Jacob Cowing, 19
RB Isaac Guerendo, 31
Malik must’ve loved the idea of him wearing a single-digit jersey.
