Joe Burrow: Bengals Star Quarterback to Wear No. 0 Jersey
A Look at the History of Jersey Numbers in Cincinnati
From Paul Brown to Joe Burrow
Joe Burrow has been a sensation for the Cincinnati Bengals right from the time they drafted him as the first overall pick in 2020. The young quarterback has led the team to new heights, including an appearance in the Super Bowl in 2022. Recently, Burrow made headlines when he announced that he would be switching his jersey number from No. 9 to No. 0.
Burrow's decision to wear No. 0 is a nod to the NFL's recent rule change that allows players to wear any number they want, except for those that are already retired by the team. This gives players more freedom to express themselves and choose a number that has special meaning to them.
Burrow has said that he chose No. 0 because it is the jersey number he wore while playing at LSU, where he won a national championship in 2019. He also said that he likes the way the number looks and that it will help him stand out on the field.
The Bengals have a long and storied history of great players who have worn a variety of jersey numbers. Some of the most famous Bengals players include Paul Brown, Ken Anderson, Anthony Munoz, and Chad Johnson. Each of these players helped to define their era of Bengals football, and their jersey numbers have become synonymous with their greatness.
Burrow is still in the early stages of his career, but he has already shown that he has the potential to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. With his new jersey number, Burrow is ready to lead the Bengals to even greater heights.
