Chargers LB Kenneth Murray changes jersey number

Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray will now be sporting a single-digit number.

You will no longer to see No. 56 head-hunting in the middle of the defense for the Chargers.

Linebacker Kenneth Murray, who previously wore that number in his rookie season, will now be sporting No. 9 moving forward, according to the team’s official website.

After NFL owners approved a rule change proposed by the Chiefs that loosens jersey number rules, Murray was among the few who expressed interest in changing numbers.

Murray wore No. 9 all throughout his collegiate career and it just so happens that it was available, which wouldn’t have caused any discretions between players.

Safety Derwin James is another player who will most likely change his jersey number, going from No. 33 to 3, which is the number he wore at Florida State.

QB Justin Herbert, LB Kenneth Murray select Chargers jersey numbers

The two first-round picks for the Los Angeles Chargers have their jersey numbers picked out.

The Chargers selected quarterback Justin Herbert and linebacker Kenneth Murray with their first-round selections in the 2020 NFL Draft.

It wasn’t long until both players decided what numbers they will be supporting on the brand new jerseys this upcoming season.

Los Angeles announced that Herbert will wear No. 10, while Murray will wear No. 56.

This is the same number that Herbert wore for the Ducks throughout his college career. For Murray, he’s moving on from wearing No. 9 during his time at Oklahoma.

You can now order your Herbert and Murray jersey.

Note: The jerseys won’t ship until they are officially signed.
