Shortly after signing all seven of their selections from the 2026 NFL Draft to rookie deals, the Detroit Lions announced the initial numbers each of those players are set to wear in their first seasons.
Keep in mind before investing in a jersey, these numbers are subject to change. Last year’s first-round selection, defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, first donned No. 78 in the offseason before switching to No. 91 before the opener. More numbers become available to rookies after cutdown day, when the Lions trim their 90-man roster down to a 53-man unit (plus another 16 players on the practice squad).
The Lions also made official the signings of nine undrafted free agents, while also announcing their numbers.
