NFL Teams Highlight Iconic Players Wearing Numbers 74, 76, 77, 78 Ahead 2025 Season

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, teams are highlighting the best players to wear specific jersey numbers while noting those who currently wear them. The New York Giants honor Chris Snee as the best to wear No. 76, a key offensive lineman and four-time Pro Bowler who helped the team to two Super Bowl victories, with Jon Runyan Jr. currently wearing the number. For the Giants’ No. 77, defensive tackle Dick Modzelewski is celebrated for his consistent play, participation in six NFL Championship games, and role in popularizing the "Dee-Fense" chant. The Las Vegas Raiders spotlight defensive end Ike Lassiter as the best No. 77, known for his sack production in the 1960s, while Thayer Munford currently wears the number amid a position transition. Offensive tackle Art Shell, a Hall of Famer with eight Pro Bowls and two All-Pro honors, is recognized as the best No. 78 for the Raiders, with Dalton Wagner currently attempting to secure a roster spot. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins find no standout player for No. 74, as none of their players wearing that number have made a Pro Bowl, though several have been steady starters over the years.
