In the next step toward actually taking the field as members of the Detroit Lions, the team’s draft class of 2023 was officially assigned their initial jersey numbers.
Detroit’s eight draft picks now have numbers to go with their names. The jersey assignments are subject to change, of course; offseason player movement means other numbers figure to come open for a potential switch down the line.
But for now, this is the jersey number for each draftee:
Jahmyr Gibbs – 26
Jack Campbell – 46
Sam LaPorta – 87
Brian Branch – 32
Hendon Hooker – 12
Brodric Martin – 96
Colby Sorsdal – 75
Antoine Green – 80
The rookies will show off their jerseys in the upcoming rookie minicamp.
