I prefer all my linebackers to have numbers in the 50's. That's a lot of linebackers in the NFL that will have to change numbers, if true. I'm not too excited about this. I like the more traditional number system. But, if it makes the players happy then so be it. It is not that important. Edited April 21, 2021 by MJS

Always found it odd to see LBs and DEs in college in single digits. Seeing a guy in a number 6 that is 265 pounds destroying a QB always seemed out of place. I like tradition but that said I also embrace change. I would rather see the game be more fun than too rigid. 1
