Falcons WR Van Jefferson changes jersey number to 15

The Atlanta Falcons acquired speedy wideout Van Jefferson in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday. Jefferson, 27, will bring some much-needed depth to the wide receiver position.

According to the team’s official website, Jefferson will wear the No. 15 for the Falcons this season. The former second-round pick previously wore the No. 12 with the Rams, but that number is currently worn by KhaDarel Hodge.
