The Panthers have announced the jersey numbers for each of their picks in the 2020 NFL draft.
Here is what the rookies will be wearing this year, per the team website.

Brown takes Charles Johnson’s old No. 95. Johnson ranks second all time in franchise history in sacks behind Julius Peppers.
Round Two: DE Yetur Gross-Matos: No. 97
Penn State’s Gross-Matos is taking Mario Addison’s former No. 97. Addison signed a three-year deal with the Bills last month.

The Pride of Notre Dame will wear No. 25, last worn by Eric Reid, who was released in March despite a $5 million dead money penalty.
Round Five: S Kenny Robinson: No. 27
The steal of the draft for the Panthers was Robinson, according to Pro Football Focus. He’s taking former cornerback Kevon Seymour’s old No. 27.
Round Six: DT Bravvion Roy: No. 93
Matt Rhule only picked one Baylor prospect in the draft, to the surprise of some. Roy will wear No. 93, last held by Gerald McCoy, now in Dallas.

Last but not least, FIU’s Thomas-Oliver is wearing No. 23. Defensive back LaDarius Gunter wore the number in 2017.
