Gold VIP Contributor. Joined Aug 17, Messages 1, Reaction score This is from Wikipedia: NFL numbering system is based on a player's primary position. Also, if a player changes primary positions during his career, he does not usually have to change his number unless he changes from an eligible receiver to ineligible or vice versa Jason Peters is a notable example, having moved between tight end, where he wore number 86, to offensive tackle, where he currently wears Any player wearing any number may play at any position on the field at any time though players wearing numbers must let the referee know that they are playing out of position by reporting as an "ineligible number in an eligible position".
It is not uncommon for running backs to line up at wide receiver on certain plays, or to have a large lineman play at fullback or tight end in short yardage situations, or to have wide receivers fill in as extra defensive backs.
Also, in preseason games, when teams have expanded rosters, players may wear numbers that are outside of the above rules. When the final player roster is established, they are reissued numbers within the above guidelines. Four current players wear numbers outside their primary position: Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley and Carolina Panthers tight end Jeff King wear number 47 and Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark wears number 44 despite in both cases having had an 80's number available and unlike the aforementioned Cushing neither play any other position.
Hester was allowed to keep 23 after the team converted him to wide receiver. Now I'm more curious about how Dallas Clark gets to wear The Saint Undrafted Free Agent.
