Josh McCown was lured out of retirement by the Philadelphia Eagles last week after Philly suffered a couple of injuries at the quarterback position.

Now that he’s back in the league, the veteran has chosen to wear No. 18 this year, and on Sunday he explained why he went with that number. His reasons are awesome.

Josh McCown is wearing #18. He said it's because this is his 18th season and also, "In the team picture I can sit next to No. 17 and I won't look so bad."

McCown has worn a lot of jerseys over the course of his career, but after his retirement this past spring we thought we’d never have to add to the collection.

Looks like his daughter needs to find some more friends to round out the collection.
