We here at Niners Wire believe firmly that a player’s jersey number impacts their quality of play. For example, it’s not a coincidence Fred Warner’s career took off when he switched from No. 48 to No. 54.
Some numbers are just better for certain positions. If this sounds preposterous, take it up with 49ers general manager John Lynch, who attributed a number change to undrafted rookie D’Shawn Jamison’s uptick in production.
