While numbers like 12 and 80 are synonymous with singular legends, the number 8 holds a unique and diverse place in NFL history. It’s a jersey that has been worn by some of the most dynamic quarterbacks, record-breaking punters, and even a clutch kicker. From the Hall of Fame arm of Troy Aikman, who led the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl championships, to the revolutionary rushing ability of two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, the number 8 has been defined by incredible talent. We can’t forget Steve Young, a Super Bowl MVP and Hall of Famer in his own right, or Ray Guy, the first and only punter enshrined in Canton. This list ranks the best players ever to wear the number 8 and celebrates their lasting impact on the game.
