It didn’t take long for Aaron Jones’ #33 to find a new owner.

The Green Bay Packers’ official roster has already been updated with the new uniform numbers that the Day 1 and Day 2 selections from their 2024 class will wear. First-round pick tackle Jordan Morgan will don #77, a number previously worn by practice squad tackle Kadeem Telfort — who will now wear #76. #77 was the number that Morgan wore during his college career with the Arizona Wildcats.

Unlike Morgan, though, the Day 2 selections for the Packers are changing numbers from their college days. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper will wear #56 (#45 in college), safety Javon Bullard will wear #20 (#22), linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper will wear #59 (#8) and running back MarShawn Lloyd will wear #32 (#0). Based on the team not allowing Lloyd to have #0, it doesn’t seem like Green Bay is interested in giving that number out, despite the NFL rules allowing it to be in the rotation. Coopers’ #56 was previously taken by international player pathways defensive end Kenneth Odumegwu, who has since taken #98, per the Packers’ roster.

While they are not yet confirmed by Green Bay’s official roster, Twitter/X account NFL Jersey Numbers, which covers these things, has released the Packers’ uniform numbers for their Day 3 selections. Fourth-round safety Evan Williams will wear #33, his college number and previously the number that outgoing running back Aaron Jones wore before his release this offseason. Fifth-rounders Jacon Monk (offensive lineman) and Kitan Oladapo (safety) will wear #62 and #27, respectively. Sixth-round tackle Travis Glover will wear #79 while seventh-rounders Michael Pratt (quarterback) and Kalen King (cornerback) will wear #17 and #27.

Interestingly enough, kicker Anders Carlson is still given #17 on the Packers’ official roster, meaning that one of Carlson or Pratt would have to change their uniform number if they both make the team’s 53-man roster for the regular season.
