Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy has spun the uniform roulette wheel and landed on his third jersey number in two seasons.

Flournoy enters his second NFL season with another new look as Cowboys and perhaps this one will bring more success. At the very least, Cowboys fans will hope that Flournoy has more success in his new number than the last man to wear it.

The former sixth-round pick took to social media to announce he will be switching from No. 80 to No. 19. Last season, backup quarterback Trey Lance wore the number.

Prior to wearing No. 80, Flournoy was rocking the No. 18 during training camp.

The 6-foot-1, 202-pound Flournoy finished his college career at Southeast Missouri State. Flournoy became a team captain in his first year with the RedHawks and totaled 61 catches for 984 yards and seven touchdowns, earning first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors.

Flournoy didn't get much burn in the offense during his rookie campaign, but hopefully his sophomore season and new number will give him the fresh boost he needs.
