We already knew that Pittsburgh Steelers first round draft pick Jarvis Jones would wear No. 91 this season, but now we know the numbers of the other eight members of the draft class, as well as the undrafted rookies. Second round draft pick Le\’Veon Bell has been given No. 26, while third round draft pick Markus Wheaton will wear No. 10, which of course was once worn by former Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes. Undrafted wide receiver J.D. Woods gets the honor of wearing No. 17, which of course belonged to Mike Wallace.
Don\’t get caught up in the duplicate numbers, because with a roster of 90 players, there are bound to be those. I also strongly urge you not to rush out and buy a jersey other than that of Jones right now, as there remains the possibility of number changes once the final cut downs take place. If the Steelers sell it on their website, however, you should be good to go.
The Steelers rookie camp gets underway on Friday in Pittsburgh.
UPDATE: Jones has opted to change to No. 95 from No. 91. I hope you didnt buy a No. 91 jersey.
