The roster has so many players that 0-99 is not a sufficient amount of numbers to allow each player their own number ?
Or is that the various field positions are constrained by a limited range of number options ?

I think the team tries to give players their favourite number if possible.


Is 0 available? Can't remember seeing it.
I think numbers 1 (Ernie Nevers), 7 (Elway + Gerhart(?)) and 16 (Plunkett) are retired. That should leave 96 numbers.
With 85 scholarship players plus walk-ons, that probably wouldn't quite work to enforce a single number per player.

Thanks for helping me understand the jersey number situation  :)
