Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Mike Thomas, who wore No. 13 last season as a rookie, will switch to No. 88 to honor his great-grandmother.

It's means more than just a number to me! That number represents my Great Grandmother! & the longevity she spent on 🌎🙏🏾 — 〽️ (@_MikeTeee) April 17, 2017

Thomas also sported No. 88 while in college at Souther Mississippi University. But that’s not the only reason why he has decided to change numbers.

The Rams wideout tweeted that the number is a tribute to his great-grandmother. Not only did she live to be 88, but he also shared that was her favorite number as well.

Last season, he had just three receptions for 37 yards in the NFL. But he was projected as one of the top ten rookie sleepers before the year started likely because he had 112 receptions (17.7 yards per catch) and 19 touchdowns in his final two collegiate seasons.

Hopefully, the new number will also represent more production from the Los Angeles receiver as well. If his play while wearing No. 88 in college is any indication, Thomas should be in store for success.
