Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins finally made his jersey number change official.
With the team announcing the change from No. 85 to No. 5 via a brilliant video on social media, fans and the NFL world as a whole had some major reactions to the reveal.
For what it’s worth, those fans who called for Tyler Boyd to change his number in order to have Joe Burrow throwing to the “513” will end up disappointed, as Boyd issued a tweet on the topic right after the Higgins announcement.
Here’s a look at Boyd’s tweet and all of the best reactions to the jersey change news.
Hate to break it to y'all but 83 the closest y'all gone get 🙌🏾

I’m definitely coping this jersey. The only reason I don’t have a Tee Higgins jersey now is that I’ve been waiting for him to change his number. https://t.co/RNIzjXe79J
