Samuel wore No. 1 during his collegiate career at South Carolina and shared with fans that a jersey number change might be coming. He followed up the announcement with several photos of himself with the Gamecocks, asking fans, "How y'all feel about this?"

We'll probably see several upcoming jersey number changes thanks to the rule change.
