Jahmyr Gibbs changed his jersey number from No. 26 to No. 0 because he simply did not like the number 26. When he was drafted, the available numbers were limited, and he took No. 26 out of necessity, but he "hated" wearing it. He wanted to switch to his old college number, No. 1, but it was taken by his teammate Jameson Williams. So, he chose No. 0, which was next to No. 1. Initially, Gibbs was worried about how the No. 0 would look on him, but after seeing it in a Madden video game preview, he liked how it appeared. There was no deeper or personal meaning behind the change; it was just about his preference and comfort with the new number.
