 Draft Pick's Jersey #s Quote: Riley Reiff #71
Ryan Broyles #84
Bill Bentley #28
Ronnell Lewis #97
Tahir Whitehead #59
Chris Greenwood #33
Jonte Green #36
Travis Lewis #50 I'm not sure how I feel about Broyles wearing 84... That kind of bothers me a bit... He's got big shoes to fill in that #.

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s #84 should have been reserved if not flat out retired.

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s these are always subject to change
im surprised no one chose 21 yet
i dont believe in retiring jersey #s so i think 84 is perfect for Broyles. especially if he displays the hands he did in college
anyone know Lacey's #?

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s I thought I remember hearing something about No. 85 being retired because a player long ago died on the field due to a heart attack.
Although I agree that No. 84 should be retired to honor Herman, I'm just glad that Broyles is not wearing a dumbass teen number. I don't care what anyone says wide receivers should NOT have teen numbers. Now, it seems EVERY receiver drafted picks a teen number. Wtf?

I'm with you--WRs should have 80s and RBs should have 20s--like the good ol' days of '91!

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s Wiki wrote: Retired numbers Dutch Clark (7) Barry Sanders (20) Note: The #20 was retired specifically for Sanders, even though the retired number was also worn by RB Billy Sims and DB Lem Barney, both of whom are also among the top all-time Lions at their positions. Bobby Layne (22) Doak Walker (37) Joe Schmidt (56) Note: The #56 was unretired with Schmidt's blessing when the Lions acquired linebacker Pat Swilling from the Saints. No player has worn it since Swilling left. Chuck Hughes (85) Note: Hughes died of a heart attack during a game on October 24, 1971, and his #85 was withdrawn from circulation. However, WR Kevin Johnson wore #85 during his stint in Detroit after asking permission from the Hughes family as he had worn that number throughout his professional career. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Li ... ed_numbers

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s Ronnell Lewis #97
He's got a DL number, looks like they plan on him being a DE like Avril.

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s The player gets to choose his number so it means nothing that he is wearing #97. There are plenty of LBs in the NFL that wear #s in the 90s and DEs that wear 50s.

Re: Draft Pick's Jersey #s we should've never retired 20 or any number for that matter.
