Jets rookie receiver Omar Cooper Jr. changes jersey to number 11

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will wear a new number when the team opens its regular season against the Tennessee Titans. After spending training camp and the preseason in number 83, the first-round draft pick officially switched to number 11 on September 8. The move follows a collegiate career at Indiana where Cooper helped the team secure a national championship. Number 11 has been worn by several notable players in New York, including Robby Anderson, Jeremy Kerley, and Denzel Mims. Cooper enters his debut professional season expected to handle a significant role in the offense. He will debut the new uniform during the Jets' Week 1 road game in Nashville this Sunday.
