Puka Nacua Changes Jersey Number as Rams Sign Davante Adams

The Los Angeles Rams acquire Davante Adams, prompting Puka Nacua to give up his No. 17 jersey and return to his college number, No. 12.

The Los Angeles Rams signed wide receiver Davante Adams to a two-year, $46 million deal after his release from the New York Jets.
Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro, will retain his signature No. 17 jersey, which he has worn throughout his career.
Puka Nacua, who wore No. 17 for his first two seasons with the Rams, announced he will switch to No. 12, a number tied to his family and college football career at BYU.
Nacua previously expressed reluctance to give up his No. 17 but stated that No. 12 holds deep personal significance representing his family and upbringing.
Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown questioned Nacua's explanation for the number change, commenting skeptically on social media.
