The Eagles have announced some new Jersey numbers today. It’s not just the rookies getting some fresh threads though, with six veterans also changing their numbers. Here is everything you need to know and some very serious analysis.
Eagles rookies
DeVonta Smith: #6
Donning the #6 was always an obvious choice once single-digit jerseys were made legal in the NFL. After winning the Heisman and putting the finishing touches on a remarkable stint with Alabama while wearing the same number, it only made sense.
Landon Dickerson: #51
Am I disappointed that he won’t be wearing #69 due to having the humour of a teenager who has just discovered Family Guy?
