Tyrell Shavers Makes Bold Move, Switches to Iconic #14 Jersey for Buffalo Bills
In a move that’s both personal and symbolic, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers is switching his jersey number from #80 to #14—the same number he wore during his standout college years at San Diego State. The update came via his agent, Paul DeRousselle, who broke the news on X and saved at least one fan from ordering the wrong jersey. Good timing.
While the #14 jersey has been worn by notable receivers in Buffalo’s recent history, including one of the best wideouts of the modern era, this move is less about legacy and more about identity. For Shavers, it’s a return to the number that defined some of his most productive years on the field. The decision feels intentional—a personal touch as he embarks on what could be a breakthrough NFL season.
Shavers’ road to the league has been anything but conventional. A highly recruited prospect out of high school, he began his college career at Alabama, transferred to Mississippi State, and ultimately found his stride at San Diego State. His performance there earned him second-team All-Mountain West honors in 2022 and put him back on the radar as a legitimate NFL-caliber receiver.
After a strong showing in training camp and preseason, Shavers earned his place on the Bills’ final 53-man roster. He consistently showcased his ability to stretch the field, make contested catches, and contribute as a downfield threat. He appeared in a handful of games late last season, but the expectations now are far greater. With a full offseason under his belt and a clear role ahead, Shavers is positioned to make a real impact in 2025.
The jersey number may be familiar to fans, but for Tyrell Shavers, it represents something more—a fresh chapter, a return to form, and a quiet confidence that he belongs. With the tools, the mindset, and the opportunity in front of him, don’t be surprised if he becomes one of the more talked-about names in Buffalo’s offense this year.
