According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, players will be allowed to wear the number zero next season. Here is the full list of changes.
- Quarterbacks can wear numbers 0-19
- Punters and place kickers can wear numbers 0-49, 90-99
- Defensive backs can wear numbers 0-49
- Running backs, full backs, H-backs, tight ends and wide receivers can wear numbers 0-49 and 80-89
