Jalen Ramsey had his sights set on No. 2 when the NFL approved a rule change to allow defensive backs to wear single-digit numbers. However, Robert Woods wound up taking that number.
Ramsey is still changing his number, though. The Los Angeles Rams announced Sunday that the All-Pro cornerback has officially switched from No. 20 to No. 5.

Ramsey has worn No. 20 since entering the NFL in 2016. He previously wore No. 8 at Florida State, so No. 5 will be an entirely new look for him.
In addition to Ramsey, several other Rams players have decided to change their numbers. Darious Williams grabbed No. 11, Jordan Fuller changed to No. 4 and David Long Jr. is now No. 22.
