Earlier this week, the NFL announced, “Players can use zero (“0”) as a jersey number; kickers and punters can use any jersey number between 0-49 and 90-99.” The change came after a vote from the owners. The NFL owners were in Phoenix, Arizona for the NFL Annual Meeting.

Following the announcement, Wide Receiver Calvin Ridley announced he would be the first player in Jacksonville Jaguars franchise history to wear zero.

There were various reactions across the internet about the news, and here are some of my favorite reactions from Twitter.
