NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the league owners approved a proposal that will allow players other than offensive and defensive linemen to don the No. 0 on their jerseys.
Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons, who wears No. 11, wasted little time in announcing that he might be changing his number.
“I’m switching!!” he tweeted. “Agent 0 coming soon!”
It seems he might be a little late after safety Jayron Kearse informed him of this:

The NCAA allowed college football players to wear the number beginning in 2020.
Linemen will be outlawed from wearing the number. They will only be able to wear numbers 50-79 as well as 90-99.
Small change but players seem really excited about it.
