Robert Woods wore No. 2 during his college career at USC
More and more players around the NFL are taking advantage of the league's new jersey-number roles. Now that skill-position players are allowed to wear numbers within the single-digits, one player with the l. a. Rams is switching his jersey to No. 2 -- but it isn't the Rams player people thought it might be.
Jalen Ramsey, who wore No. 8 during his college career at Florida State but had recently mused about possibly wearing 2, won't be making that switch. Instead, wide receiver Robert Woods -- who has worn No. 17 during his four years with the Rams -- are going to be the one making that switch. Woods wore No. 2 during his college career at USC, and can be donning the digit again in L.A.

Woods is not the only Rams player switching to a single-digit number. Fellow wideout DeSean Jackson, who was worn No. 10 or 11 throughout his 13-year career, will now wear No. 1. Cornerback Darius Williams, who wore No. 27 with the Ravens and No. 31 with the Rams, will switch to No. 11 next season. And second-year safety Jordan Fuller, who wore No. 32 as a rookie, will switch back to his No. 4 jerseys that he wore in college.
The players who were already on the Rams will need to buy the remaining inventory of their old jersey number to form the switch, but Jackson -- who changed teams within the offseason -- doesn't need to do an equivalent.
