What the Uniform Numbers in Pro Football Mean

Every NFL football player's uniform bears a number. It's unique for his particular team—no one else can use or wear it. This makes it easier for fans, coaches, announcers, and officials to differentiate between the players on the field.

A jersey-numbering system was initially launched by the National Football League on April 5, 1973. The system assigned certain ranges of numbers to each player position from which a player could choose.

Here are the original numbers from 1973. They've changed a little, but not much.

1 - 19: Quarterbacks, punters, and kickers
20 - 49: Running backs and defensive backs
50 - 59: Centers (or 60-79 if this range is taken)
60 - 79: Defensive linemen and offensive linemen
80 - 89: Receivers and tight ends (or 40-49 if this range is taken)
90 - 99: Defensive linemen and linebackers
Changes Over the Years

The original system stood until 2004, although not without objections from some players. Then the NFL changed it up to allow wide receivers and tight ends a bit more versatility—they, too, could claim numbers between 10 and 19 beginning in 2004. The first three receivers taken in the draft that year grabbed number 11: Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, and Reggie Williams. Randy Moss promptly changed his number to 18, and Plaxico Burress switched to number 17.

Then, in 2010, a rule was passed to allow defensive linemen to wear numbers 50 through 59.

The NFL Competition Committee made another change in 2015, allowing linebackers to use numbers 40 through 49 for the first time.

All players must wear numerals on their jerseys in accordance with Rule 5, Section 3, Article 3c (see NOTE 1), and such numerals must be by playing position as follows:

QB, PK, P: 1-19(10-19 for WR if 80-89 are all otherwise assigned)
RB & DB: 20-49
C: 50-59 (60-79 if 50-59 unavailable)
OL: 60-79
WR & TE: 80-89
DL: 60-79 (90-99 if 60-79 unavailable)
LB: 50-59 (90-99 if 50-59 unavailable)

Yeah but WRs can wear numbers in the teens like QBs...

[Messier]

Wasn't Keyshawn Johnson the first, or at least the one that made is okay?

That’s what the post said.

[Rain Man]

Does O'Daniel have a safety number?

[Mephistopheles Janx]

They wasted no time in moving on from Hali.

Damn... they could have let the number just chill for a season.

He got paid out the ass. His number is hardly some untouchable shrine.

[Mephistopheles Janx]

Yes.... noting that Hali's number has already been issued and remarking that they didn't even give it a year off is equal to me saying that he should have an express ticket to the Ring of Honor and his number should have been immediately retired.

Dude... thanks for clarifying my words for me. I had no idea I meant to say all that.

I work with a person and his son works in media relations at a school we drafted from. He said the person we drafted seems nice.

I think Keyshawn paid a fine every game in order to wear #19

Hey, Flying High D, what does the ladies tattoo say on your avatar? I’ve been curious about this for awhile.
