The thing that is so interesting about this, is that quarterbacks are only allowed to wear numbers 0-19, but those numbers are all taken already by other Lions players. So, Bridgewater was able to be a bit more creative and decided to go with number 50.
After hearing about the news, fans spoke out via Twitter:
As you can see, most are not happy with this. It is very different than what we are used to, but hey, why not have some fun with it? I personally don't mind the change, and I think it's cool to have players pick a number that they actually like. Good for you, Teddy!
