A fresh number and a fresh start for Judkins, useful context for a teammate or fan tracking his rebound season.
Browns RB switches to number 1 Story flow and key facts
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is switching jersey numbers from 10 to 1 ahead of his second NFL season. The number 1 was previously worn by safety Juan Thornhill, who was released after two years, and most recently assigned to injured cornerback Martin Emerson Jr., who never played in the number. Judkins previously wore No. 1 at Mississippi and sees the return to his college digit as a fresh start. The change also reflects a shift in team culture, as former head coach Kevin Stefanski previously restricted single-digit numbers to quarterbacks and specialists. Judkins is now the second Browns player this offseason to claim a single-digit number, following wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who took No. 0.
