JaKobe Thomas starred for the Hurricanes last year wearing jersey number 8. This year, as a rookie for the Vikings, Thomas hasn’t seen much playing time but has been on the active roster each week.
Anyone looking for Thomas in his usual #8 this week will have to look again, as the rookie has given his number to recently acquired Kirk Cousins. The QB is beloved in Minnesota and had success wearing number 8 during his previous stint with the Vikings.
Thomas will now wear number 6. Here is JaKobe talking about the jersey number change, saying, “I just want him to come here and help us win…. Kirko’s got a lot more memories and history in that number than I do, and it’s rightfully his.”
