Quick hits: Van Ness wore No. 91 at Iowa but No. 90 in high school…Musgrave wore No. 88 every year at Oregon State…Reed wore No. 5 and No. 1 at Michigan State but gets No. 11 in Green Bay, replacing Sammy Watkins…Kraft wore No. 85 at South Dakota State and replaces Robert Tonyan in the number…Colby Wooden, a Kingsley Keke-like player, gets No. 96 after wearing No. 25 at Auburn…Sean Clifford assumes backup duties as No. 8 after wearing No. 14 at Penn State…Dontayvion Wicks wore No. 3 at Virginia, but the number is retired in Green Bay…Karl Brooks, who wore No. 11 and No. 44 at Bowling Green, gets Dean Lowry’s old number…The new kicker gets Davante Adams’ old number…Valentine will attempt to follow the path of Sam Shields in the No. 37…Nichols III, a Cedric Benson-like player, gets an appropriate new number after wearing No. 7 at Central Michigan…Can Johnson Jr. become the next great safety wearing No. 36 in Green Bay?…DuBose, who wore No. 14 at Charlotte, was pretty much out of options.
