The rules for jersey numbers in the NFL changed last year and the Dallas Cowboys will make sure you don't forget that.

Although a controversial rule change among fans, players around the league have clearly loved the idea of having a wider array of numbers available to them.

Last year, Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs was one of them. In his second year in the league, he made the switch to #7 in a season in which he racked up 11 interceptions. He was a huge part of the Cowboys' defense that led the league in takeaways and finished as the second-best in the league in pass defense EPA/play.

Now, some of his fellow defensive backs are set to follow his lead off the field as well.

Cowboys announced two jersey numbers changes: CB Anthony Brown switched from No. 30 to 3, CB Jourdan Lewis from No. 26 to 2. DE Dante Fowler also has been assigned No. 56. The No. 6 that Fowler wore last season on Falcons is occupied in Dallas (S Donovan Wilson).

After the Cowboys announced Anthony Brown would switch to #3 and Jourdan Lewis to #2, Kelvin Joseph shared a not-so-cryptic tweet about his own number.

In college, Joseph wore #1 for Kentucky. With Cedrick Wilson gone to the Miami Dolphins, it seems as if the 2021 second-rounder will part ways with his original #24.

So whether or not Kelvin Joseph beats out Anthony Brown for the starting outside cornerback job, the Cowboys are poised to have three starting cornerbacks wearing single-digit numbers.

Single-digit jerseys for Dallas Cowboys:

1. CB Kelvin Joseph
2. CB Jourdan Lewis
3. CB Anthony Brown
4. QB Dak Prescott
5. P Bryan Anger
6. S Donovan Wilson
7. CB Trevon Diggs
8. N/A
9. N/A

Safety Donovan Wilson is another DB rocking just one number on his back as he will continue to wear #6.

That leaves the Cowboys with only two remaining single-digit jerseys, but #8 and #9 are unlikely to be taken given Troy Aikman's and Tony Romo's historical standing on the team.

Sure, we all know what happened with Jaylon Smith, but it'd be a surprise if someone else tries to claim Romo's number anytime soon. And Aikman's number might not be officially retired, but… come on. It's simply not up for grabs.

Whether fans get behind the recently loosened restrictions on jersey numbers or not, players will continue to make the most out of it. I, for one, can get behind a secondary looking for a shared identity like this one.
