A new jersey number will be available for players this season.
NFL owners voted Tuesday during the Annual League Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, to allow players – except for offensive and defensive linemen – to wear the number zero, the NFL announced.
Also under the approved rule, punters and kickers may now choose jersey numbers from 0-49 and 90-99. Previously, punters and kickers could wear numbers 1-19 – the same as quarterbacks.
The change was proposed by the Philadelphia Eagles. Below is the full list of positions and allowed jersey number ranges to choose from:
Position | Jersey numbers |
---|---|
Quarterbacks | 0-19 |
Punters and placekickers | 0-49 and 90-99 |
Defensive backs | 0-49 |
Running backs, fullbacks, tight ends, H-backs and wide receivers | 0-49 and 80-89 |
Offensive linemen | 50-79 |
Defensive linemen | 50-79 and 90-99 |
Linebackers | 0-59 and 90-99 |
