Antoine Brooks Jr. is keeping his college number, telling Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews in an Instagram Live interview he’ll wear #25 for his rookie season.
Late last month, he tweeted a mockup of his college and NFL jerseys. Now, we know he’s officially carrying the number over to Sundays.
The team has yet to announce rookie numbers yet but he’s the third player whose jersey we know. Chase Claypool announced he’ll wear #11, Kevin Dotson #69, and now Brooks with #25.
The last Steeler to wear #25 was Artie Burns, a former first round bust allowed to hit free agency this past offseason.
