Three Alabama alumni will wear different numbers for the Detroit Lions in 2025 than they did in 2024.
On Thursday, the NFL team announced cornerback Terrion Arnold will wear No. 6, running back Jahmyr Gibbs will wear No. 0 and wide receiver Jameson Williams will wear No. 1.
For Williams, the number change returns him to his Crimson Tide jersey number. Williams wore No. 9 in his first three seasons with the Lions. Wide receiver Maurice Alexander wore No. 1 for Detroit last season, but he is now on the Chicago Bears.
Arnold wore No. 0 as a rookie for the Lions after wearing No. 3 at Alabama. He was able to switch to the No. 6 after safety Ifeatu Melifonwu left for the Miami Dolphins in free agency in March.
Gibbs got Arnold’s old number after wearing No. 1 at Alabama and No. 26 in his first two seasons with Detroit.
