Editing Placekicker (section)

===Numbering===
In the NFL, placekickers, along with punters and quarterbacks, used to be among the only players allowed to wear single-digit [[uniform number (American football)|uniform numbers]]; kickers can also wear numbers between 10 and 19.

In college and high school football, kickers can wear any number and usually wear one of an [[eligible receiver]] (1 to 49 or 80 to 99). Because kickers are generally less prominent on team rosters, and low uniform numbers are much more widely used among other positions at those levels, kickers are often given high jersey numbers that go unused by other players (such as numbers in the 40s or 90s). The two players in documented football history to have worn the uniform number 100, Chuck Kinder and [[Bill Bell (American football)|Bill Bell]], were both placekickers.
