Is it the
player that makes the jersey, or the jersey that makes the player? Surely it's
the former. But it'd be foolish to deny that uniforms -- and, specifically,
jersey numbers -- hold a special place in many NFL players'
hearts. Only in recent years has the league permitted skill positions to rock
single digits, and starting in 2023 the No. 0 will also join the rotation,
marking an even more diverse wardrobe for the stars of the game.
Whether
it's Patrick Mahomes' red No. 15 or Aaron Donald's blue No. 99, certain
numbers have become synonymous with the NFL's best talents. And it's with that
in mind that we decided to assess every single digit, identifying the best
player to wear each number, 0-99, for the upcoming 2023 season:
Note: Player ages are as of Sept. 1, 2023.
64 -- Tyler Linderbaum
Position: C | Team: Ravens | Age: 23
Bengals
OL Ted Karras is another possibility here,
but Linderbaum wasted no
time integrating to the NFL, drawing Offensive Rookie of the Year votes for
steering Lamar Jackson's front.
