no. in order to play offensive line, the player must have an ineligible number (50-79)
all numbers except for those in the previously stated range are eligible as receivers and cannot play offensive line without declaring themselves ineligible to receive to the official prior to each play.
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Trai Essex wears number 79.
they wear Riddell Revolution and get the face mask with alot of bars or the face mask with a bar going through the middle of the face mask like the raiders offensive lineman Robert Gallery
According to NFL Rule 5, centers should wear 50-59 and guards/tackles should wear 60-79. Since linebackers also wear 50-59 a center may wear 60-79 if a number in the 50s is not available.
defensive lineman and some linebackers do wear 99
The number 78 was worn by Bengal Legendary Left Tackle and Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz. The number 78 has not been issued to a member of the Bengals since he retired in 1992. Munoz is widely considered to be the greatest offensive lineman in NFL history.
Yes, lineman can wear neck rolls. The neck roll is worn primarily by linebackers and defensive linemen, although anyone can, and perhaps should, wear one.
Offensive lineman should not be required to wear visors because many of them have a very large cage. Justin Tuck uses a helmet (I think it's an ION 4D or DNA) that has more bars than I've seen on any other helmet.

41
The number is actually 91, and it was the number of Marquise Hill, a backup defensive lineman who died during the summer of 2007 in a boating accident. They wear his number in rememberance.
Famous or Great? Without a doubt the greatest, in my humble opinion, was George Conner (1948-1956) Chicago Bear defensive tackle, linebacker and offensive tackle. He was the winner of the first Outland Trophy in 1946. 3 time All-American, 1 year with Holy Cross and 2 years with Notre Dame. He was all-pro 4 times (50-53), played both ways his entire career. His playing days ended with a knee injury. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio in 1975. He died March 31, 2003 at age 78.
The wide receivers typically wear number 81 in American Football. Some tight ends wear it as well.
