It’s been slow going as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, but the New York Giants have officially announced the signings of 10 players over the past two weeks, including linebacker Blake Martinez and cornerback James Bradberry.
On Monday, the team also assigned those 10 players their new jersey numbers, which are subject to change, so remember that when ordering some new attire.
The new jersey numbers are broken down below:
- James Bradberry, No. 24
- Colt McCoy, No. 12
- Levine Toilolo, No. 83
- Austin Johnson, No. 93
- Blake Martinez, No. 54
- Kyler Fackrell, No. 51
- Cameron Fleming, No. 75
- Eric Tomlinson, No. 85
- Nate Ebner, No. 43
- Dion Lewis, No. 33
Bradberry recently discussed the importance of wearing No. 24, which had been Josh Norman’s number in Carolina.
“Had 21 been open, I would have chosen 21. But since I was in college, I always thought about wearing 24 so I just went with 24 not thinking about it,” Bradberry told The Athletic of taking Norman’s old number.
“When I actually started thinking about it, it was too late. I had already chosen the number and I didn’t want to go back. People would probably say I was scared to wear that number and I didn’t want that either, so I just took the challenge.”
Interestingly, the No. 44, which linebacker Markus Golden wore last season, has not be reassigned.
