i think most will change numbers after final cuts. Neville will want a 90 number. I'm sure Robinson will try and get a 20 number.
Ceedee Lamb
College 2
Cowboys 10 or 88
Can't wear 2 in the NFL.

Trevon Diggs
College 7
Cowboys 31
Can't wear 7 in the NFL.

Neville Gallimore
College 90
Cowboys 75
DLaw has 90.

Reggie Robinson II
College 9
Cowboys 41
Can't wear 9 in the NFL.

Tyler Biadasz
College 61
Cowboys 63
Adam Redmond has 61.

Bradlee Anae
College 6 (previously 56)
Cowboys 51
Can't wear 6 in the NFL. Joe Jackson has 56.

Barring injury of course, and various suspension hearings aside, dont know that theres room for Jackson.

Anae ought to end up w 56.

Reggie is a 20s guy.

Neville is a big 90s dude but ok.

Lamb/10 is a cool jersey.

Lamb/88 is like...really? Sales would be down a ton and I hope Jerry Jr steps in and realizes that.

Cowboys Issue Jersey Numbers to 2020 NFL Draft Class; 88, Anyone?

club-88.jpg


FRISCO - We are all in the process of reviewing the 2020 NFL Draft class for the Dallas Cowboys, trying to put names with faces ... trying put height and weight and 40 times in the memory banks, too. ...

And now we have some numbers - jersey numbers - to add to the names and the faces and the stats ... (ht Jon Machota) ...

Pick 17: CeeDee Lamb, receiver, Oklahoma - No word yet. Lamb joined us on 105.3 The Fan on Thursday and said he'd prefer to "rock No. 10. But then owner Jerry Jones suggested he be issued the traditional "young star receiver jersey'' around here, which is No. 88.

Pick 51: Trevon Diggs, cornerback, Alabama - He'll wear No. 31 ... and try to pick right up where the last guy, Byron Jones, left off.

Rather not ceedee end up like Antonio Bryant with 88 after Michael.
TE Jackie Harris was the first player (2000-01) to wear #88 following Michael Irvin.

I was stunned to see that occur.

Tony Fingers had potential, I liked giving him a shot with #88, same goes for Dez.

Either number works for me, but I'd rather see CeeDee Lamb in #88.

To me, Lamb does not appear being the type who will adopt a number he does not want. Jones said he wanted Lamb to wear #88. Lamb may desire it over his favorite number in the end.
We'll see what happens, but in the end, the team decides and issues the jersey number.

Ezekiel Elliott didn't pick #21, the Cowboys wanted him in it for marketing reasons due to his high first round status..

I'd also like to see Tyler in 61, but don't see that happening with Redmond.

Dont know that they give the guy a number of a former legend (Hogeboom lol).

He wore 6 at JMU. Who has 6 now? Forbath? Can even recall. Was piss drunk watching this team in December.

That was exactly my thinking. It was a Hogeboom/Morton combo. I think Morton wore 14 too.

Jerry always more concerned about selling jerseys. Personally I’d rather Lamb wearing another number. Same for Diggs.
