Anyone know John Ross' jersey number and Jordan Willis'? Other players too if they've chosen yet. Figured the first 3 picks did. I seen Joe Mixon with a #34 jersey with his name on it already and someone said John Ross took #15. Number we're all familiar with obviously.
Not real important, just interested lol.

I've always loved 34 for a RB number, since the Thurman Thomas days.
99 reminds me of Dan Wilkinson mostly. Pollack wore it for his brief career. Manny Lawson. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

34 was worn most recently by Boom, I believe. Then you have Kyries Hebert and the best returner in club history, out of The U
99 was also Hunt, Terry Johnson, Shirley and my man Oliver Gibson.
But 99 in stripes to me, is always, Wilkinson :)

Scary if you think about it, but I think Joe will do pretty well for us.

Tbh I remember loving the 2000 Bucs growing up and I loved Warren Sapp and John Lynch. That was a great defense. Not a big fan of Sapp now, but thats what #99 reminds me of.

I saw an article that said Ross was taking 15. I think it was on Bengals.com. I'll try to find it.

I don't mind him wearing 15. Idk it will bother others or not. I'm sure PacMan will say something to him about it letting him know.

RIP Henry, but if Ross comes close to living up to his status, he'll be better than Henry ever dreamed of being.
I'm mixed on him wearing that number, but I guess it's either retire it or try to move on.

I like the idea of seeing 15 flashing down the sidelines again.

Brandon Wilson is my favorite pick this year and he has to be #3.
"BW3"
He could get a deal as spokesperson for Buffalo Wild Wings.
Anyone have any idea why Buffalo wild Wings is called "BW3" since there are vonly 2 W's?

He did, but I don't think too many expected much of him like we do with Ross being our #1 pick at #9. I did forget though.
