Redskins assign jersey numbers for draft picks

New Redskins offensive lineman Brandon Scherff will sport the No. 75 when he and his fellow draft picks kick off their team’s rookie minicamp next week.

Scherff, the team’s first-round pick, wore 68 in college, but takes up a new number with his new team since fellow tackle Tom Compton currently wears that number.

The team announced the jersey assignments for the 10 rookies, although those numbers could change for the regular season once the roster is cut to 53 players.

Linebacker Preston Smith (second-round pick) will wear No. 94, and running back Matt Jones (third-rounder) will wear No.
