CINCINNATI — The NFL rookie minicamps are heating up for all of the Bearcats' 2022 draft picks. That means plenty of new numbers and uniforms for the players. As of Monday, May 9, we have numbers for seven of the nine Bearcats draft picks starting with Desmond Ridder donning No. 4.

Hard-hitting safety Bryan Cook kept things the same with the Kansas City Chiefs. He wore No. 6 with Cincinnati and isn't changing.
