Question

Answer 1

yeah.

Answer 2

No, they are not allowed to wear numbers in the single digits.  This is only allowed in practice and pre-season.

Answer 3

Yea they can

Answer 4

yes but it is not common.

most recievers will have a number from 80-89

Answer 5

Before final cuts, teams can have a whole bunch of recievers on the team, and they start to run out of numbers, so sometimes they will assign receivers single digit numbers.

I've always found that a good trick to determine whether a guy is going to make the team is this; if he's low enough on the roster to only be given single digits, he's not gonna make the team.  Works most of the time.

Answer 6

Since 2004,Wide receivers are also allowed to wear numbers between 10 and 19 if they so choose, even if there's an 80-89 number available.
