During his tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kwon Alexander wore No. 58. That is going to change with the San Francisco 49ers. Alexander announced the other day on his Instagram that he will now be wearing No. 56.

As you know, that number was formerly worn by former 49er Reuben Foster.
56 has actually been worn by a linebacker on the team every year since 2010. There’s no news on the teams official website for Alexander’s number.
