Exciting times at the NFL draft for all the Buckeyes that made the jump to Sundays!!

Saw this posted about Braxton

and it had a couple of nuggets about Bosa and Zeke too

With Miller in 13, he joins Joey Bosa (#99) and Ezekiel Elliott (#21) as the recently drafted Buckeyes to pick their jersey numbers with their new NFL teams. 

The article had this about jersey numbers that aren't allowed too.

Former Ohio State quarterback and wide receiver Braxton Miller wore the numbers one and five during his career in Columbus, but due to NFL rules, he won't be able to wear either of those numbers with his new team, the Houston Texans.

Anyone know what the NFL number rules are and why these wouldn't be allowed? 

Is it really Monday... already?!?
