Numbers 0 and 00 are no longer allowed, but they were issued in the NFL before the number standardization in 1973. George Plimpton <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Plimpton> wore 0 during a brief preseason stint as quarterback <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterback> for the Detroit Lions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Lions>. Jim Otto <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Otto> ("aught-oh") wore number "00" during most of his career with the Oakland Raiders <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_Raiders>. Wide receiver Ken Burrough <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Burrough> of the Houston Oilers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Houston_Oilers> also wore "00" during his NFL career in the 1970s. wiki/Number_(sports) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_(sports)#NFL>
