Three questions

You changed your number from 40 to 24 this offseason. What was the significance of that decision?

“First of all, I wanted to change my number because 40 wasn’t really a good number. It didn’t fit me, I felt like. But 24, Charles Woodson wore that number, and that’s my all-time favorite player. So that’s one reason why I got the number.”

The last player to wear that number here, of course, was Marshawn Lynch.
