Marcus Davenport set to make history for the Vikings

It isn’t very often we get focused on what NFL players are wearing, but in the case of the Minnesota Vikings and outside linebacker Marcus Davenport, we’re going to make an exception.

According to the roster page on the Vikings’ website, Davenport will be the first player in franchise history to wear the number zero. Davenport signed with the Vikings just after the start of free agency, taking a one-year “prove it” deal after a rough 2022 season with the team that drafted him, the New Orleans Saints.

About six weeks ago, the National Football League approved the wearing of the number zero for players.
