40's are for Fullbacks and Tight Ends that want to be cool.

Just look at how many 40's there are here.

Lorenzo Neal, Mike Alstott, Tony Richardson, Vontae Leach, Mike Sellers, Lawrence Vickers.

You want to wear a 40 number you have to be a complete bruiser. (see Stephen Davis and Ryan Torain).

Once upon a time, Peyton Hillis wore #22...
But he broke out for good while wearing #40.
