Introduction the NFL 45s

In the pantheon of NFL legends, jersey numbers become synonymous with greatness. From the scrambling heroics of number 8 to the defensive dominance of number 56, these digits tell a story. Today, we set our sights on number 45, a jersey donned by both lockdown defenders and bruising fullbacks.
