Jahmyr Gibbs Switches to No. 0 for 2025

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has officially changed his jersey number from 26 to 0 for the 2025 NFL season, citing personal preference and a desire for a fresh start. Gibbs explained he disliked his previous number, which he selected as a rookie due to limited options, and ultimately embraced 0 after considering its appearance on and off the field. This number switch aligns with a trend among Lions teammates who are also updating their jerseys. Gibbs is coming off a strong 2024 season, recording 1,412 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, and he is expected to be a central figure as the Lions pursue a Super Bowl run. Both fans and Lions legend Barry Sanders have high expectations for him. The team, despite last season's playoff disappointment, is well-positioned to contend in 2025.
