Several of the newest members of the Cleveland
Browns have their new jersey numbers.
Odell
Beckham Jr. will
wear No. 13 just as he did with the New York Giants. It is a number that was
last worn wide receiver Rod
Streater last season. He wore No. 3 at LSU. The most successful
Browns player to ever wear the number was quarterback Frank Ryan from
1962-1968.
Running
back Kareem Hunt will wear No. 27 just as he did
with the Kansas City Chiefs. Like Beckham, he wore No. 3 at Toledo.
Cornerback Tavierre Thomas wore the jersey last season and
he remains with the team. Thomas will wear the No. 20 this season. The most
successful player to ever wear the number in Cleveland was defensive back Thom
Darden from 1972-1981.
Defensive
end Olivier Vernon will wear No. 54 just as he had
with the Giants. He had worn No. 50 with the Miami Dolphins. Three different
Browns wore the number in 2018: offensive lineman Anthony
Fabiano, linebacker Mychal
Kendricks and linebacker Tanner
Vallejo. The most successful player to ever wear the uniform was
center Tom DeLeone (1974-1984).
Offensive
lineman Kendall Lamm will wear No. 70. He wore No. 63
and No. 74 with the Houston Texans. Offensive guard Kevin Zeitler had that uniform before he was
traded to the Giants. It has not been a very successful number in the history
of the franchise.

Offensive
lineman Eric Kush will wear No. 72. He had worn the No.
64 with the Chicago Bears last season. The number 72 was worn by two different
Browns last year: offensive tackle Shon
Coleman, who was dealt to the San Francisco 49ers, and center Aaron
Neary, who was claimed off waivers and later waived. The most successful
Cleveland player to ever wear the jersey was defensive lineman Jerry Sherk
(1970-1981).
Tight
end Demetrius Harris will wear No. 88. He had worn
No. 84 with the Kansas City Chiefs last season. The most successful player to
ever wear the uniform was wide receiver Reggie Langhorne, who wore it from
1985-1991. The No. 84 is currently worn by wide receiver Derrick Willies.
Defensive
tackle Sheldon Richardson will wear No. 98. He wore
No. 93 with the Minnesota Vikings. He had worn No. 91 with the New York Jets
and Seattle Seahawks. Only ten players have worn the jersey in the team's
history. It was most recently worn by defensive tackle Jamie Meder. Defensive lineman Anthony Pleasant (1990-1995) was the
most productive player to ever wear the uniform. He was with the team when they
became the Baltimore Ravens. The Nos. 91 and 93 are worn by defensive
tackle Brian Price and defensive tackle Trevon Coley respectively.
Safety Eric Murray, who was acquired Monday, does not yet
have a new number.
