Vikings Jersey Number News: Dalvin Cook Considering Switching From 33 to 4 Hercules Mata'afa has a new number, while Justin Jefferson and Cameron Dantzler will keep theirs. Author: The NFL officially passed a rule on Wednesday relaxing the league's restrictions on which jersey numbers players at each position are allowed to have. The new allowed ranges are listed below. Quarterbacks: 1–19 Offensive linemen: 50–79 Linebackers: 1–59 and 90–99 Incoming rookies or players changing teams can choose a new number freely, but established players who want to do so for 2021 must buy out the existing inventory of unsold jerseys with their current number. They can also put in a notice to change for 2022 without such responsibilities.
