The Denver Broncos announced Tuesday that 24 new players have picked their jersey numbers. Here’s a quick look at the numbers picked by each player — fans should note that these numbers are subject to change.
NFL Draft Class
WR Jerry Jeudy: 10
WR KJ Hamler: 13
CB Michael Ojemudia: 23
C Lloyd Cushenberry III: 79
DL McTelvin Agim: 94
TE Albert Okwuegbunam: 85
LB Justin Strnad: 40
G Netane Muti: 73
WR Tyrie Cleveland: 86
OLB Derrek Tuszka: 48
Jeudy will wear Emmanuel Sanders’ old number and Tuszka will wear Shaq Barrett’s old number. We have a feeling Hamler’s No. 13 jersey might change between now and Week 1.
Undrafted Free Agents
DB Essang Bassey: 34
RB LeVante Bellamy: 32
S Douglas Coleman III: 35
WR Kendall Hinton: 2
WR Zimari Manning: 1
QB Riley Neal: 5
T Hunter Watts: 77
If Hinton or Manning make the team, they will have to change their jersey numbers to something between 10-19 or 80-89. Because rosters have 90 players during the offseason, usual number rules don’t apply right now.
Neal apparently got No. 5 from punter Sam Martin, who changed to No. 6. Martin can switch back to No. 5 if Neal doesn’t make the team.
New Arrivals
DL Christian Covington: 56
RB Jeremy Cox: 39
LB Tre’ Crawford: 91
LS Wes Farnsworth: 42
NT Joel Heath: 95
OL Tyler Jones: 63
S Kahani Smith: 39
The Broncos are still hoping to start training camp on time in late July.
