Number Change for Quinton Dunbar

After three seasons of rocking ex-Redskins player Chris Cooley's No. 47, Quinton Dunbar is changing numbers.

The young cornerback will now don No. 23—Deangelo Hall's longtime number, who recently retired after 14 NFL seasons.

As an undrafted wide receiver in the 2015 NFL Draft, Dunbar signed with the Redskins. He transitioned to cornerback after injuries decimated the team's secondary.

Dunbar is expected a larger role after Washington lost two of their top corners in Bashaud Breeland [free agency] and Kendall Fuller [trade]. The Redskins rewarded his improved play by giving him a three-year, $10.5 million contract extension this offseason.
