Emmanuel Sanders isn't just changing teams, he's changing jersey numbers.
The 49ers acquired the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Tuesday in a trade with the Broncos. Sanders has donned the No. 10 jersey for the past six seasons in Denver, but that belongs to none other than 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Sanders quickly turned to a 49ers rookie, and turned back the clock to his college days. The veteran will wear No. 17 with the 49ers, which belonged to fellow receiver Jalen Hurd.

Hurd now will wear No. 14, and he earned some extra cash from his newest teammate.
Sanders wore No. 17 over his four-year career at Southern Methodist University. He finished his college career at SMU with 285 receptions for 3,791 yards receiving and 34 touchdowns. After an impressive college career, Sanders was taken by the Steelers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
