NFL Tiger changes jersey number to a familiar one
By: Staff Report March 17, 2023

This Clemson pro will be sporting a familiar number in the NFL next season.

Amari Rodgers, now with the Houston Texans, has changed his jersey number from No. 19 to No. 3 — the same digit he wore at Clemson from 2017-20, when he recorded 181 career receptions for 2,144 yards and had 15 receiving touchdowns.

The former Tiger receiver, who earned first-team All-ACC honors as a senior, took to Twitter about his jersey number switch:

A third-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 2021 NFL Draft, Rodgers was released by the Packers last November and then was quickly claimed off waivers by the Texans.

During his time in Green Bay, Rodgers had eight receptions for 95 yards, one rush for 11 yards, 40 punt returns for 305 yards and 17 kickoff returns for 321 yards over 26 games across the 2021-22 seasons.

In six games with the Texans, Rodgers posted 12 catches for 154 yards and hauled in his first career NFL touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 11 — what was his first catch in a Texans uniform.

Prior to wearing No. 19 with the Texans last season, Rodgers wore No. 8 with the Packers.
