As the offseason quickly approaches the point where there won’t be much to discuss, let’s begin with a few purely decorative changes that the Minnesota Vikings made on Wednesday.
Every player on the squad who wasn’t already assigned a number has had their number revealed by the organization. This includes the draft picks, undrafted free agents, and free agents whom the team signed this offseason. Additionally, they disclosed some updated figures for seasoned players.
We’ll go over some of the major ones for those of you who may be jersey enthusiasts. You may view the whole list of new numbers on the team’s official website.
Dallas Turner, an edge defender, and quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the team’s two first-round selections, will wear the numbers they wore in college: McCarthy will wear #9, while Turner will wear #15.
Brian Asamoah has given up his #33 to running back Aaron Jones, who played for the Green Bay Packers for his entire career. Alexander Mattison’s #2 from last year will now be worn by Asamoah.
Ivan Pace Jr. is returning to his college jersey, making him the second player in team history to wear the number zero. Marcus Davenport wore that number the previous season, which you may or may not have noticed.
Trishton Jackson has moved to a wide receiver jersey, thus someone will be wearing the #8 now. He wore the #9 last year, but as was previously reported, he gave it up so McCarthy could have it.
Speaking of numbers that were worn by notable players from the previous team, defensive lineman Jerry Tillery, a free agency, has taken the #99 position.
As of right now, the Vikings’ only accessible numbers are #60, #61, #62, and #66. All other numbers have been either claimed already or retired by the team (10, 53, 70, 77, 80, and 88 are among the latter group).
That concludes your major piece of news for today. We’ll probably be hoping for events this significant in a few weeks.
