Ohio State Rookies Receive NFL Jersey Numbers

With rookie minicamps opening this Friday, NFL teams have started to announce the jersey numbers for their draftees and free agent signees.

Just three former Buckeyes have been announced so far, with Cincinnati Bengals center Billy Price set to wear No. 53 and defensive end Sam Hubbard rocking No. 94. Indianapolis Colts defensive end Tyquan Lewis will also don the No. 94, a stark contrast from the No. 59 he wore in Columbus.

NFL rules require players to wear numbers specific to their position:

  • No. 1-9 — Quarterbacks, kickers and punters
  • No.
