NFL numbers game adds No. 0 uniform option for certain players

NFL players will have the chance to wear the number zero after a proposal was approved on Tuesday.

The only players who can’t wear No. 0 are offensive and defensive linemen.

Remembering when the legendary 00 was Jim Otto of the Oakland Raiders.

Since he was a lineman, that wouldn’t fly.

Here’s the full proposal that owners approved, allowing any player to wear Number Zero except offensive and defensive linemen.

Also, punters and placekickers can now wear numbers 0-49 and 90-99. CC: @PatMcAfeeShow pic.twitter.com/7cqNoUBN1G
