This offseason, NFL owners approved a proposal changing how NFL jersey numbers will be assigned. While quarterbacks, kickers and punters will continue to wear Nos. 1-19, these are the new regulations for other positions:
- Running backs, tight ends, fullbacks, H-backs, receivers: Nos. 1-49 and 80-89.
- Defensive backs: Nos. 1-49.
- Linebackers: Nos. 1-59 and 90-99.
- Offensive linemen: Nos. 50-79.
- Defensive linemen: Nos. 50-79 and 90-99.
This undoubtedly will lead to some players changing numbers, but not to fret: We've got you covered with a team-by-team breakdown of all the switches.
