The Jacksonville Jaguars made seven selections in the draft last week, starting with notables Travon Walker and Devin Lloyd in Round 1. On Tuesday, the team revealed the numbers for each of those picks and some of the numbers are ones that fans are very familiar with.
Starting with Walker, he will be wearing the number many expected, and that’s No. 44. It was the number he wore at Georgia, and it’s also the number that was on the jersey he took pictures with at his introductory press conference. The number is one very familiar to Jags fans because it was one that former linebacker Myles Jack wore from the time he was drafted in 2016 until his release this offseason.
The Number Lloyd will wear is 33. That’s the number that was once worn by Jags greats and running backs Greg Jones and James Stewart. In college, Lloyd wore No. 0, but that’s a restricted number in the NFL.
As for the Day 2 picks, offensive lineman Luke Fortner will wear No. 79, which was his number with the Kentucky Wildcats. Linebacker Chad Muma will also wear his college number from his days at Wyoming, which is the No. 48.
Then when it comes to the Day 3 picks, running back Snoop Conner took his number from Ole Miss (24). Cornerback Gregory Junior will wear the No. 30, although he wore No. 27 in college, while fellow cornerback Montaric Brown will wear No. 30, instead of No. 21 like he wore with Arkansas.
