About This Quiz
Tom Brady, Richard Sherman, Aaron Rodgers, Todd Gurley; they are the star players who define the NFL today with their outstanding play on the field and commentary or charitable acts off the field. How well do you really know these players, though? What about their teammates or other stars around the league? Can you name these players' jersey numbers? Here's your chance to find out!ÂÂ
Unlike basketball or baseball, NFL players are covered in gear from head to toe so getting to know them is much more difficult since the main image that pops in your head when you think about them is their football uniform, from their helmet to their cleats. However, the most defining part of that uniform is the jersey number.ÂÂ
Many NFL players are synonymous with their jersey number. So much so, that they're often called by that number instead of by their actual name. After all, if you're a  commentator, it's easier to call out a player's jersey number than to remember the names of hundreds of players around the league.ÂÂ
Can you connect NFL players to their jersey numbers? Why not give it a try with this quiz? That's if you're up for the challenge, of course!ÂÂ
