Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy tweeted a Photoshopped image of himself wearing No. 10 on Friday, which seemingly indicates that he plans to wear that number in Denver.
Jeudy will be the first Broncos player to wear No. 10 since former receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who wore the number from 2014-2019. Before Sanders, No. 10 was previously worn by Broncos receiver Jabar Gaffney (2009-2010).
Sanders was a key member of Denver’s offense and helped the team win Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season so Jeudy has big shoes to fill.
Jeudy was selected by the Broncos with the 15th overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. He was the No. 1 WR on Denver’s draft board.
Jeudy will be the Broncos’ No. 2 wide receiver behind Pro Bowler Courtland Sutton. Jeudy and Sutton will give quarterback Drew Lock two promising young receivers to work with in addition to tight end Noah Fant.
Denver also has two Pro Bowl running backs — Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay — so the offense appears poised for big things in 2020.
