Browns finalize jersey numbers for draft picks, free agent signings
Get to know what the new players will be wearing in 2015
The picks are in, and so are the numbers.
The Browns have finalized jersey numbers for all 12 of their selections in the 2015 NFL Draft. All but one (defensive lineman Xavier Cooper) will be donning a different number than what they wore in their final college season.
The Browns’ first pick, defensive lineman Danny Shelton, wore No. 71 early in his Washington career. Most of the team’s other rookies wore numbers in college that wouldn’t be permitted in the NFL, such as running back Duke Johnson and linebacker Nate Orchard, who both wore No. 8.
