I'm a traditionalist.
If you're wearing nine, I don't like my defensive linemen to wear single-digit numbers.
Wear a number in the 50s or wear a number in the 90s.
If you're an offensive lineman, you wear a number in the 50s or 60s.
If you're a wide receiver, you wear a number in the 80s.
If you're a running back, you wear a number in the 20s or the 30s.

Call me old man.

All-Pro, it does matter.
