Jaylon Johnson is set to sport a familiar number in 2024: No. 1. The Chicago Bears cornerback hinted at the change by posting a throwback image from his college days donning the same number, shortly after an unofficial NFL jersey number tracker leaked the news. It's an intriguing twist amidst the NFL Draft coverage, injecting freshness into the offseason chatter.
Switching from his previous No. 33, a number associated with his successful four-year tenure in Chicago, Johnson's move symbolizes a new chapter in his career. Despite the accolades earned while wearing No. 33, including a Pro Bowl selection and All-Pro honors, the transition to No. 1 signifies a fresh start.
The departure from No. 33 sparks speculation about its future, with the possibility of it being reserved for elite cornerbacks. Reflecting on Justin Fields' tenure in the No. 1 jersey, it's a reminder of positive memories overshadowing past disappointments, such as Cody Parkey's infamous double-doink. Looking ahead, there's anticipation for Johnson to create his own memorable moments in the iconic No. 1 jersey for the Bears.
