Shedeur Sanders, the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, will wear No. 12 for the Cleveland Browns, departing from his familiar No. 2. His new number was previously worn by Tom Brady, who has mentored him. The Browns released rookie jersey numbers before training camp opened, with potential changes. In addition, veteran receiver Diontae Johnson has chosen No. 16, having signed a one-year contract, aiming to showcase his skills after past challenges with other teams.
Sanders' jersey number is a notable choice, as it was also worn by seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, who has been a mentor to Sanders.
The rookie jersey numbers are subject to change, the Browns said but will be worn throughout training camp.
Veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson, meanwhile, picked No. 16, marking the first time he will wear that number in the NFL.
It's a contract that carries little risk for the Browns while Johnson, 28, will work to reestablish his value after bouncing between three teams last season.
