New Denver Broncos Jersey Numbers

Posted Mon May 19th by

Jay Cutler can still expect to see #78 protecting his blind side when he takes his first snap this season.

That’s because 2008 Denver Broncos first round choice Ryan Clady will be wearing 78, the same number that now-retired Matt Lepsis wore throughout his Broncos career.

The rookies and free agent signings were all assigned jersey numbers before mini camp – and while some of them likely won’t last (Eddie Royal is currently a #3, which isn’t possible without an exemption to league rules), for the most part this is what Broncos fans can expect to see their new favorite players wearing.

Player Num Pos Acquired

Clady, Ryan 78 OT 1st
Royal, Eddie 3 WR 2nd
Lichtensteiger, Kory 67 C 4th

    78 + 63 = 11-5. yeah baby.

    I know they need every number during these OTA Days with all the players on the roster… but it’s just wrong to have another kicker in the #1 jersey.

    :(

  • hercules rockefeller

    I’m special ordering a Dylan Gandy pound sign.

    No one’s wearing 56?

  • Sabo

    I would be in favor of Odell Thurman having one of these numbers — a contingency plan at MLB.

  • Ian Henson

    Spencer Larsen #46, a sign of things to come?

    I see Darrell Jackson is getting two jerseys this year ;)

    Just so long as all the Jerseys fit this year – last year I did not want to see OTA photos of Sam Adams’ gut.

    Why is the Boss in number 97? Thats not a LB number

  • nheimler

    I’m actually seeing Boss having the number 90 on the team web site. And 97 I believe he wore in Detroit. Some linebackers have been known to where numbers in the 90s.

    DWill’s agent was recently informed that the Broncos will not use #27 this year. Some of these numbers will change – that won’t.
