Observation: Cowboys like low numbers when drafting

[vicjagger]

I am not being serious, but I did notice Cowboy draft picks did tend to wear low jersey numbers:

#2: Rico Gathers
#5: Kavon Frazier
#6: Darius Jackson
#7: Malik Collins
#9: Jaylon Smith & Anthony Brown
#15: Ezekiel Elliot & Dak Prescott.

And then there's Charles Tapper, #91.

Star players in college wear single digit numbers.


Star players in college are more likely to be drafted.


Riddle solved.

At the college I coach at, we reserve single digits for the bigtime recruits. 1-10 are the only numbers we allow players to double up (one on offense, one on defense). My defensive coordinator will pull a single digit number from a defensive player who is not in our 2-deep once camp is over.
