Parsons’ association with No. 11 runs deep. He wore it at Penn State and carried it into the NFL with the Cowboys, becoming one of the league’s most feared defenders. But in Green Bay, that number is occupied by wide receiver Jayden Reed, forcing Parsons to explore new territory.On Friday, the 25-year-old hinted at his decision on Twitter, revealing that he has narrowed his choices down to No. 0 or No. 1. Both digits stand out and carry their own identity.

The No. 0 projects dominance, a statement number for a defender who thrives on intimidating offensive lines. The No. 1, meanwhile, offers a sleeker look, echoing his traditional 11 in a stripped-down form while symbolizing confidence and leadership.
