The No. 7 will likely be worn by a Washington Redskins player this season for the first time since 1985.
Former quarterback Joe Theismann, the last player to wear the number for the team, told 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday that he spoke with quarterback Dwayne Haskins, picked by the Redskins in the first round last week, and gave him his permission to wear the number this season.
The No. 7 isn't retired by the Redskins, but the number is one of several that the team has "protected" by keeping it out of circulation.
