Why did Shepard change his number?
Shepard has tried to honor his father, who died when he was 6 years old, throughout his football career. When he first entered the league as a second-round pick for the Giants in 2016, Shepard chose No. So, when he heard that the rule was changing back in April, Shepard wanted to make the switch right away.31 Aug 2021
