Commanders' defender says ChatGPT helped him choose jersey number

What number will new Washington Commanders safety Nick Cross wear in 2026? The 24-year-old Maryland native, who grew up as a Redskins fan in Prince George's County, Maryland, wore No. 20 during his first four NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts .

Fourth-year defensive back Quan Martin wears that number for the Commanders . Cross could go back to the number he wore in college, No. 3, but veteran starting safety Will Harris owns that number.

Instead, Cross will wear a different number for the first time in his football career: No. 25. In an interview with Kay Adams of "Up & Adams," Cross revealed he'll wear No.

25. He admitted he was still working on Harris to secure the No. 3 jersey, but instead will honor former Washington safety Ryan Clark, who played three seasons in Washington and is now an ESPN analyst.
