Tom Brady: New NFL Jersey Number Rule Will 'Make For A Lot Of Bad Football'

While the NFL approved a rule change that allows players to wear single-digit numbers, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady believes that change will be tough for offensive linemen protecting quarterbacks.

Brady posted a photo to his Instagram story saying, "Good luck trying to block the right people now, going to make for a lot of bad football."

Under the new guidelines, which were proposed by the Chiefs, running backs, tight ends and wide receivers to wear jersey numbers from one to 49 as well as 80 to 89. Defensive lineman can wear numbers from 50-79 and 90-99.
