Title: Question
Post by: Father Demon on November 06, 2006, 04:04:58 PM
I tried Googling this, and I think my Googling skills are pretty good, but could not find an answer.  Maybe someone else here can.

I'm looking for a list of every player that has played in the NFL's modern era (since the Super Bowl's started), complete with team, position, jersey number, and possibly tenure.  If I had to take a list of every player in the NFL since Day 1, that would be fine too.  Hopefully I can find this in a non-PDF format for easy manipulation, but if it had to be in PDF, I would just have to work harder to get it a file I could use.

Anyone?  Anyone?

Jerry also wore #19 while with the Broncos.  I thought it would be important to share this information.  You're welcome.

What do you mean?  I'm currently checking to see if I can find out what number Joselio wore for the 49ers.

What number did Erik Bickerstaff (RB) wear for the Cowboys?

FFatPat, Bickerstaff wore 46.

This site won't help with player numbers, but it covers rosters pretty well.

The Cowboys official site has historical rosters with player name and numbers under Team/History. Some other teams' sites may have something similiar.

I dont know if such a thing exists on the internet.  I also would have guessed pro football reference. 

I would ask these people  http://www.footballresearch.com/

I haven't found an overall player site that contains jersey numbers, but if you go team by team, many if not most of them have either all-time alphabetical rosters with jersey numbers included (the Eagles do, for instance), or numeric lists with the players who wore each number. Typically, you'll find that information on the official team sites, but there are some fan sites that provide it as well.

I've found that, too.  If every team had a html page, or a downloadable word/excel file, it would be much easier.  Many sites are PDF, which are time consuming to convert.  If I can't find a site or resource, I may just have to take the time to do it.

MURP -- thanks for the link.  I sent them an email.
