Draft Pick Jersey Numbers

I never knew that, seems pretty silly if you ask me.
What's the reason for rules and restrictions on what numbers
certain positions wear?

what happens in the distant future, say 200 years from now,
when a team has numbers 1-19 retired to honor legendary
QBs who wore every number from 1 to 19? :hihi:

Yeah, it is pretty silly but I guess it's good since it assists being able to tell almost for certain what position a player is just by looking at the number. Here's the complete list by position...

QB's, K's & P's = #'s 1-19
RB's & DB's = #'s 20-49
WR's = #'s 10-19 & 80-89
TE's = #'s 40-49 & 80-89
OL & DL = #'s 50-79 (DL can also wear #'s 90-99)
LB's = #'s 50-59 & 90-99

Here's a Wiki article on the topic, pretty cool read. :9:

Pretty sure his contract expired and wasn't renewed.

Yeah, he's a URFA and I don't think anyone else has picked him up yet.

I really liked him, good instincts and pretty good in man-coverage. I think if one of our CB's goes down this year, we'll pick him back up. Might even pick him up before camp on the cheap cheap. :9:
