2013 Draftees Uniforms and Numbers

[lancealot]

anyone know what number Jesse Williams will be wearing at the hawks?

[dsaline97]

I don't think you can confirm anything from those photos - unless the overall design has changed, teams commonly use the same draft jersey for years at a stretch.

If the Broncos or Bills are making minor tweaks, it's doubtful that the draft jerseys would be the first place we see them.

The bills jersey presented to Manuel has a full collar here. I'm not sure about the jerseys for sale though.

Jerseys for sale don't have it changed. However, I'm pretty sure that Stephon Gilmores jersey from last year had the toilet seat collar on it.

Do we have any pics of any picks holdin up a broncos/chargers/bills jersey so we can confirm changes?

[AJM]

For the Cardinals, Kevin Minter - #51, Honey Badger - #32. Jonathan Cooper's preference - #64 is already taken.

Looks like Cooper will be wearing #61.

Moving at their usual slothful pace, the Saints have not assigned any numbers yet.

[drakexedge]

Jarvis Jones will be 91 with the Steelers.

Is this confirmed? I'm assuming he opted out of taking Harrison's 92, his Georgia number "29" reversed, out of respect?

[dcameronh]

the 49ers's Eric Reid can't use #1 from his LSU days but I suggest he use #41. He just had his presser in SF and the jersey still said #1 on it. He said he will decide later.

Did the 9ers fix their sleeves?

I noticed this last year when I saw them on Alex Smith's jersey. Not sure what to make of it as the replicas still have the slanted sleeve stripes. I guess they went back to the way they did it before. Some cuts show them and some don't.

Alex Smith & David Akers last year with all three stripes showing.

Didn't the Chargers change their nameplate text to yellow?

The 49ers have issued #35 to first round pick Eric Reid, although the number may be temporary. (AP)

Alex Smith's uniform number was re-issued Monday to rookie wide receiver Quinton Patton, a fourth-round draft pick from Louisiana Tech.

Also, the 49ers' veteran began on-field work Monday with coaches for the first time since the opening of the offseason program. Veteran cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha wore No. 24. In the offseason, several numbers are duplicated with offensive and defensive players. Running back Anthony Dixon also wears No. 24. One of the players will be re-assigned a new number if both players make the 53-man roster.

Each of the 11 players the 49ers players selected for their 2013 draft class were assigned their initial uniform numbers on Monday:

S Eric Reid -- 35*

DE Tank Carradine -- 95

TE Vance McDonald -- 89

LB Corey Lemonier -- 96

WR Quinton Patton -- 11

RB Marcus Lattimore -- 38

DT Quinton Dial -- 71

LB Nick Moody -- 54

QB B.J. Daniels -- 5

T Carter Bykowski -- 71

CB Marcus Cooper -- 33

*-Temporary.

Here's some draft trivia...wonder how often a team has drafted two guys from rival schools who have the same first name and wore the same college number?

[Carter23]

"@wobby: "Subject to change, but looking like Patterson will wear 84 (college number), Rhodes 29 and Floyd 76. #Vikings"

from Twitter

At the intro presser, Patterson was already asked about wearing Randy Moss's old number. Hopefully he will make it work just as well (as Moss's first tenure. The second can just be forgotten).

they arent going to retire his number (or atleast not let anyone wear it until they officially retire it whenever moss retires)?

[Gothamite]

If they were going to retire it, you have to figure they'd hold it out of circulation until then. This seems a pretty clear indication of the team's intentions.

#11 for Tavon Austin and #12 for Stedman Bailey... of the Rams, not Mountaineers. Sad face.

And #7 for Geno on the Jets

[CheeseHusker]

The Packers have now done the rest of their draft picks.

Josh Boyd - 93

Nate Palmer - 51

Charles Johnson - 17

Kevin Dorsey - 16

Sam Barrington - 58

CB James Nixon changed from 23 to 25.

[drakexedge]

Is #12 taken on the Jets roster?

[CheeseHusker]

Retired.

Yeah some guy called Broadway Joe wore it.

[kutztown]

Manti Te'o has changed his number from #51 to #50. Apparently he did so for marketing purposes (His nickname will be "Hawaii 5-0")

[DC in Da House w/o a Doubt]

It's very easy for me to dislike Te'o. What a terrible nickname. A nickname should be genuine, and generally not created by the namesake himself... Or a marketing firm. Just play football you tool.
