It’s some big news this afternoon, as the Indianapolis Colts 2020 draft class were assigned their initial rookie numbers on Monday, as the Colts official social accounts announced.
These are just the initial numbers, as the rookie class will have an opportunity to change them after training camp, provided they make the final 53-man roster. However, there are definitely some intriguing numbers.
Former USC wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will wear the number 86, which Jerome Pathon wore in the early years with Peyton Manning at the helm. Pittman Jr. will continue the trend of greats in the 21st century wearing numbers in the eighties, following Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison.
