Dalvin Cook teased a return to his roots by donning his vintage No. 4 jersey in the NFL, and now, the 26-year-old Minnesota Vikings running back is confirming it.
“That number symbolizes a lot to me. My father passed away, and that’s the number he’d want me to wear,” Cook told TMZ Sports, while holding up four fingers with both hands. “…I got my number back.”
The NFL rescinded the rule against players at the offensive skilled positions, among other positions, from wearing single-digit numbers on their jerseys. However, the one caveat was that players had to “buy out the existing inventory of jersey distributors,” as reported by ESPN’s Kevin Seifert.
