Greg Newsome reveals his Browns jersey number

First-round CB Greg Newsome reveals his Browns jersey number

Browns fans looking to order the jersey of first-round pick Greg Newsome can now click with some confidence. Newsome announced on his social media account that he will rock No. 20 in Cleveland.

Newsome wore No. 2 while playing cornerback at Northwestern. While he could technically wear the same number now that the NFL has loosened up the restrictions on which jerseys players at different positions can wear, the rookie CB has chosen No. 20 instead. Kicker Cody Parkey currently sports the No. 2, while the 20 jersey was open.

Cornerback and special teams ace Tavierre Thomas wore No. 20 for the last two seasons, with Briean Boddy-Calhoun sporting it before him.

It looks like Newsome will wear it well.

Anthony Schwartz declares he’ll wear No. 10 for the Browns

Schwartz wore both 1 and 5 at Auburn but will go with 10 in Cleveland

Browns third-round draft pick Anthony Schwartz has already chosen what jersey he will wear as Cleveland’s newest wide receiver. Schwartz revealed he wants to wear No. 10 for the Browns.

It’s a change for Schwartz from his college days at Auburn, where he wore two different numbers. Schwartz rocked the No. 5 jersey in his first two seasons at Auburn before switching to the No. 1 jersey in his final season in 2020. His high school number at American Heritage HS in Florida was No. 10.

Anthony Stainbrook from The OBR sagely captured Schwartz’s Instagram story that cements the jersey choice. Then again, Schwartz’s own Instagram handle — @anthony_schwartz10 — offered up a pretty telling clue on its own, too.

The No. 10 jersey is open for the Browns, so it’s an easy choice for everyone.
