The New York Jets traded up to acquire the 14th overall pick in Thursday's first round.

New York used the pick on USC offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker to help protect second overall selection Zach Wilson.

In addition to the 14th pick, the Jets acquired a fourth-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings for the 23rd overall and two third-rounders.

Patrick Peterson has decided to take advantage of the NFL's new uniform rules and switch to his old college number.

Peterson announced Sunday on his "All Things Covered" podcast that he will wear No. 7, the same number he wore at LSU.

The defensive back, 30, signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings in March.

Dalvin Cook is looking into switching from No. 33 to No. 4, the number he wore in high school and at Florida State.

There are expected to be several number changes with the NFL's loosened rules on uniforms.

According to an unnamed source, Cook "would love to go back to" No. 4, but that the Minnesota Vikings running back currently is "looking at the inventory costs."

Players who want to change for 2021 must purchase the unsold inventory. A change could currently be arranged for 2022, at no cost to the player.

Justin Jefferson thought the Philadelphia Eagles were going to draft him 21st overall last spring, but they passed on him in favor of fellow wide receiver Jalen Reagor.

Jefferson then went 22nd overall to the Minnesota Vikings.

"Leading up to the draft, you know, they had all of those mock drafts and people sharing their opinions on who is going to go where," Jefferson told GQ. "A lot of people had me going to Philly. And, I thought I was going to Philly. Honestly. The funny part is, Philly was on the board and then Minnesota called me. At first, I thought it was Philly. But, I answered the phone and it was Minnesota. It's crazy how all of that happened and everything. But, I'm definitely, definitely, definitely excited that I'm on the Vikings rather than Philly."
