The Detroit Lions have handed out some new numbers, but maybe you should wait before getting a new jersey.
The Lions assigned numbers to the new players at the team’s rookie OTAs on May 9, including to their seven draft picks and 10 undrafted signees.
First-round pick Tyleik Williams leads the way with the No. 78. The defensive tackle from Ohio State wore the No. 91 in college. Second-round pick Tate Ratledge, who wore the No. 69 in college at Georgia, was assigned the same number at rookie OTAs.
