Philadelphia Eagles assign jersey numbers for their five-man 2022 NFL draft class
With the Eagles’ 2022 rookie draft class set and working out at the NovaCare Complex for the start of a minicamp, three of those impact players will have new uniform numbers.
On Friday afternoon, Philadelphia announced the new jersey numbers for the five players selected last weekend during the 2022 NFL Draft.
Jordan Davis switched numbers because the legendary Jerome Brown’s No. 99 will never be worn again, while Grant Calcaterra will likely switch numbers again before the regular season starts.
