Robinson took #79 and other rookie numbers....

Donald is going straight after Sapp, eh?

 

[bluesjoc]

Since Van Dyk took 66 he is also projected as a guard?

Numbers are designated as Offensive Linemen...not Tackle/Guard/Center.

How cool would it have been if Sam picked 69 instead of 96.

Not very cool. He's too small to be a productive offensive lineman.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Why didn't Gaines get 31? Alexander got it. I guess because he's a higher draft pick...but still.

 

[Da-Rock]

I like 27 for Mason and #5 is my 3rd favorite QB number. I wish Donald had 97 available

Maybe he didn't want it? Some guys like to change number after college.

Rams rookies get jersey numbers
By Nick Wagoner

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Reports over the weekend indicated that St. Louis Rams defensive end Michael Sam's jersey was the second-best seller on NFLShop.com.

On Tuesday morning, the Rams revealed what number will be on that jersey, along with the rest of their 11-man rookie class.

Sam will wear No. 96, a departure from his college number, 52. That number is taken by linebacker Alec Ogletree, a first-round pick in 2013.

Here is the complete rundown of numbers for the Rams' latest additions:

OT Greg Robinson -- 79

DT Aaron Donald -- 99

DB Lamarcus Joyner -- 20

RB Tre Mason -- 27

S Maurice Alexander -- 31

CB E.J. Gaines -- 33

QB Garrett Gilbert -- 5

OT Mitchell Van Dyk -- 66

S Christian Bryant -- 42

DE Michael Sam -- 96

C Demetrius Rhaney -- 65

From the group, only Joyner and Rhaney were able to retain their college numbers. Most of the other preferred numbers were already taken. For example, Robinson wore 73 at Auburn, but that number is taken by current Rams offensive lineman Mike Person.

Of course, some of these numbers could be subject to change as players are released in the preseason and before.

Maybe, but a lot of players prefer their college numbers. Who knows?

OK OK...I got you on this one. He can be #69 on defense. Like Jared Allen.
