Raiders, Giants Highlight Historic Jersey Number Legacies Ahead Season Start

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, countdowns for the Raiders and Giants highlight notable players associated with jersey numbers 30 through 32. For the Raiders, number 30 is currently worn by Holmes, who stepped up as a nickel corner last season after a teammate's injury; the best to wear it is former running back Mark van Eeghen, a key figure in the Raiders' first two Super Bowl wins. Number 31 is now worn by Mostert as a backup running back, with safety Jack Tatum recognized as the best historical wearer due to his Pro Bowl performances and role in the Raiders' dominant 1970s defense. Number 32 is donned this season by Johnson, sidelined by injury early on, while Hall of Famer Marcus Allen holds the distinction as the best to wear it, noted for his rushing records and a memorable Super Bowl touchdown. On the Giants’ side, running back Ron Johnson is celebrated as the best to wear number 30, known for leading the team to two winning seasons and setting franchise rushing records during a challenging era. For number 31, cornerback Jason Sehorn is honored despite a career-altering injury, remembered for his athleticism and contributions to the Giants' defense and their 2000 Super Bowl appearance.
