Uniform number (American football)

In American football, a uniform number is a specific number assigned to a player that identifies them during a game. Each player wears their number on their jersey, which helps referees, coaches, and fans recognize who is on the field. Uniform numbers are generally assigned based on a player's position, with certain ranges of numbers traditionally associated with specific positions. For example: - Quarterbacks typically wear numbers 1-19. - Running backs often wear numbers 20-49.
