Bosworth was also 20+ years ago.

You can find exceptions, obviously. Brad Van Pelt wore #10 for the Giants because he was, ostensibly, their backup kicker, but that was 30+ years ago and I don't think he ever kicked anything.

I don't think they'd let a linebacker wear 44 today, either.

Remember Freddie Solomon? He was the 49ers' "disaster" quarterback for years because he had been a QB in college at the University of Tampa.

If you have to put a guy in a position in an emergency, they're not going to make him put a different number on.

I'm curious how long they're going to let Devin Hester wear #23 when he's obviously not a cornerback, no matter how they list him on the roster.
