The Dallas Cowboys have announced jersey numbers for their rookie draft class.
This time last week the Dallas Cowboys were in the middle of assembling their 2025 rookie draft class, and when they were all said and done, they received a ton of approval ratings. Soon enough there will be some legitimate football (so to speak) to sink our teeth into when it comes to the nine players who Dallas selected, but until then we are left to daydream as to what they are going to look like with stars on their helmets.
But, Cowboys rookies do not wear stars on their helmets. It is part of the process of becoming a Cowboys player, having to earn it and all of that jazz. Something each player is issued though, obviously, is a jersey number. This is always a fun thing to see as some numbers just make sense for some players where others don’t.
On Friday the mothership announced jersey numbers for their rookie draft class:
- Tyler Booker………………….. 52
- Donovan Ezeiruaku………… 41
- Shavon Revel…………………. 27
- Jaydon Blue…………………… 34
- Shemar James……………….. 50
- Ajani Cornelius………………. 69
- Jay Toia…………………………. 93
- Phil Mafah………………………. 37
- Tommy Akingbesote………… 72
We had known from the jump that Tyler Booker was going to wear 52 and on Thursday evening Shemar James shared a photo on his Instagram story noting that he had been assigned 50. As for the rest, it is worth noting that options are fairly limited.
Consider that the Cowboys roster is currently at 91 players (they are allowed an extra thanks to an international exemption) so you don’t necessarily have a lot to choose from at this point in time. Something like Jaydon Blue in 34 or Donovan Ezeiruaku in 41 may seem awkward or strange, but it is worth noting that these can and likely will change once roster cuts happen further down the road.
Which number feels best to you?
