Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Emeka Egbuka is starting his NFL career with a fresh look. Ahead of Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, the Bucs’ first-round pick is switching from No. 9 to No. 2. It's the same number he wore during his Ohio State career and the Buckeyes’ 2025 national championship run.Following Kyle Trask's release after four seasons with the franchise, the No. 2 jersey was up for grabs. NFL rules require players to buy out unsold jerseys when switching numbers, but for Egbuka, the trade-off was worth it. NFL reporter Ari Meirov shared a picture of the wide receiver in his new jersey on Monday.Fans reacted to it and remembered Trask."Justice for Kyle Trask," a fan wrote."Trask has to be sacrificed for the number 🤣," another fan wrote.Jakobius @SamiusStLINK@MySportsUpdate Trask has to be sacrificed for the number 🤣"They sacrificed Trask so the rook could get his number yeah this guy is gonna be a player," one fan said.Others focused on the future and cheered for Egbuka."bro just reclaimed so much aura," a fan tweeted."He took that number because that’s where he currently sits on the depth chart," another fan commented."🔥 let’s go mek!" one fan said.Egbuka wasn't the only Buc who switched numbers.
