NFL star Darren Waller highlighted sobriety as the reason for wearing number 12 at the New York Giants.
Waller fought alcohol addiction at a young age and has revealed that 12 is a reference to the 12 steps used in programs to help those who battle addiction. In an interview with the NFL Network, Waller explained that he will play with the number because he wants to support people in recovery.
“Twelve is a number that has a lot of meaning to me,” Waller said. “Somebody that’s in recovery. There are certain programs that people like me are a part of, and 12 is a very symbolic number. So, it’s just representing people that are in sobriety.”
