The Los Angeles Rams released the first look at Trent McDuffie’s new jersey on Thursday and the reveal has some important news.
McDuffie, who was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Rams this offseason, traditionally wears the number 22. He did so with the Chiefs and during his time at the University of Washington. However, Blake Corum currently occupies the number. Here’s the latest changes.
McDuffie keeps his number
During the Rams’ release of their new apparel, the team posted McDuffie’s new jersey on social media, with his number confirmed as 22.
According to The Athletic’s Nate Atkins, Corum will have the number 24 jersey for next season. McDuffie wears the number 22 in honor of his late brother Tyler, who passed away in 2015. That number was the one Tyler used to wear, and by chance, he was given it at Washington, choosing to keep it for the majority of his career. The only year he didn’t have 22 was in 2022, his rookie season, as it was being used by Juan Thornhill at the time.
Corum wore the number 2 in college but Jaylen McCollough currently occupies the number as that was his number at the University of Tennessee.
McDuffie’s jersey is now available for fans as he and Jaylen Watson are set to make their impact as the team’s top two signings this offseason.
