Yeah. Also: Wheaton switches to #12, White changed to #11, Wright takes #13, Braverman changed to #18, Amukamara #20, Bellamy #15.

What's with all the teen numbers these days?

WRs need to go back to wearing numbers in the 80s.

1-19 should be QBs, kickers and punters

20-49 for backs (RBs, FBs and DBs)

50-59 for LBers

60-69 for OL

70-79 for OL and DL

80-89 for WRs and TEs

90-99 for DL

damnit :hitler:

bears retired too many numbers so I don't think it really works out that cleanly.

I know in the preseason it's a mess too because of roster expansion.

The rule used to be that a guy like White could keep#11 after the preseason if he wanted but he'd have to pay a fine to do so.

I'm not up on the rules for it now.

White was cursed by #13 obviously

Definitely an unlucky 13. Here's White on the change:

"I was never a big fan of 13," White told ChicagoBears.com. "It hasn't been my best number. So it's time to turn the page and get back to my old ways when I was 11 back in college [at West Virginia]. Mentally, it's time for a change and a new chapter."

White will wear No. 11 in due in part to his great admiration for Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, a player that White has idolized since high school. The two met for the first time in 2015 when White was preparing for the NFL Combine and remain in frequent contact.

"The best advice he's given me is 'respect all; fear none,'" White said. "He has a big influence on me—following Christianity, eating right, taking care of my body and just preparing every day.

"You want to be the person on a team where guys say, ‘Wow, Kevin is doing everything right.' Larry has been in the league for 13 years and he still takes notes. He still does the little things and it's the little things that matter. So big ups to Larry. That's my guy I look towards."

"Mentally and physically I feel a lot better," he said. "It's a fresh start and a clean slate for me."

13 is an awful number here recently with Knox and White and those injuries... White wore 11 at UWV. Hopefully it works out for him. Not sure about Wright... He should take out some extra insurance. He wore #1 at Baylor but he did have #13 with the Titans.

I don't mind WRs wearing 10-19 but I can't stand LBs wearing 40-49.
