Russell Wilson will keep his old number on his new team.
The Giants have announced that Wilson will wear No. 3 this season. That’s the number he’s worn throughout his NFL career, for 10 years in Seattle, two years in Denver and last year in Pittsburgh.
Deonte Banks, who previously had the No. 3 jersey, will switch to No. 2. It will be the third jersey number in three seasons for Banks, who wore No. 25 as a rookie for the Giants in 2023, then switched to No. 3 in 2024 and is now switching again. Wilson thanked Banks on social media for making the change.
“Salute to my guy & young star Tae Banks! Grateful for you letting me wear #3 King! Full of gratitude,” Wilson wrote.
