Eagles announce jersey numbers for their 2022 draft class

Posted

It's the start of Eagles' rookie camp and the team has announced their five draft picks' numbers. Let's take a look and quick analysis:

Jordan Davis - #90

#90 hasn't had much luck lately for the Eagles:

Ryan Kerrigan - 2021

Bruce Hector - 2019

Treyvon Hester - 2018

Justin Hamilton - 2017

Marcus Smith - 2014-2016

Clifton Geathers - 2013

Antonio Dixon - 2010-2012

Davis will look to be the best #90 for the Eagles since Corey Simon (won't be hard to do)

Cameron Jergens - #51

Another not so great history with #51:

Shareef Miller - 2019

Steven Means - 2016-2017

Emmanuel Acho - 2013-2014

Jamar Cheney - 2011-2012

Antwan Barnes - 2010

With Jergens projecting to be the center of the future, the Eagles hope he can wear #51 like Alex Mack has in his career.

Nakobe Dean - #17

Poor Reid Sinnett, he loses his number before wearing it on the field. But this is a power move for Dean, as he keeps his college number and will want to show his doubters that #17 will be just as productive in the NFL. Brief history:

KeeSean Johnson - 2021

Alshon Jeffery - 2017-2020

Nelson Agholor - 2015-2016

Arrelious Benn - 2013

Kyron Johnson - #58

#58 went from two of the best defensive players the Eagles have had in the 2000s to being given to two players who didn't do much.

Genard Avery - 2019-2021

L.J. Fort - 2019

Jordan Hicks - 2015-2018

Trent Cole - 2005-2014

Grant Calcaterra - #47

FINALLY SOMEONE TO GIVE #47 LIFE. He HAS to be better than the last guy... right?
