The two other receivers drafted by the Saints will be using Nos. 18 (Bryce Lance, from North Dakota State) and 19 (Barion Brown, out of LSU). But that&#8217;s not all.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive tackle Christen Miller, the team&#8217;s second-round pick, will be using the same No. 52 jersey he wore at Georgia. Third-round tight end Oscar Delp (Miller&#8217;s college teammate and friend since middle school, by happenstance) will be wearing No. 88. That&#8217;s a great choice for a blocking tight end who could see his share of targets in certain situations. Fourth-round guard Jeremiah Wright, from Auburn, is trying a new number in No. 65. Late-round defensive backs TJ Hall (Iowa, No. 34) and Lorenzo Styles Jr. (Ohio State, No. 36) also announced their numbers.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re still waiting on confirmations for the Saints&#8217; crop of undrafted free agents, and some guys will likely change jersey numbers over the summer as roster moves are processed and preferred choices open up. But a couple of these look like safe bets to stick with it. Tyson and Miller are using the same numbers they wore in college, so feel free to order yours.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Saints Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/saintswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/saints\/2026\/05\/05\/saints-rookies-jersey-numbers-jordyn-tyson-oscar-delp-barion-brown\/89948308007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:New Orleans Saints announce jersey numbers for 2026 draft class;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">New Orleans Saints announce jersey numbers for 2026 draft class<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tue, May 5, 2026 at 6:12 PM UTC Jersey numbers are in for each of the rookies picked&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2076],"tags":[4955,6221,7479,32199,7,102853,8313,7602,896,55,2572,2571,6,6751,38680,397],"class_list":{"0":"post-883337","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-saints","8":"tag-2026-nfl-draft","9":"tag-arizona-state","10":"tag-barion-brown","11":"tag-christen-miller","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-jeremiah-wright","14":"tag-jersey-numbers","15":"tag-jordyn-tyson","16":"tag-new-orleans","17":"tag-new-orleans-saints","18":"tag-neworleans","19":"tag-neworleanssaints","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-north-dakota-state","22":"tag-oscar-delp","23":"tag-saints"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116523503456483769","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
