Ohio State's 2022 NFL Rookies Receive Jersey Numbers

See if any former Buckeyes will retain their college jersey numbers as they embark on their first season in the NFL.

With the 2022 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror and offseason activities right around the corner, the six former Ohio State players who were drafted and several others who either signed free agent deals or were invited to rookie minicamp received their rookie jersey numbers.

It will be easy to recognize former offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere on his new team, as he'll continue to wear the same number he wore during his final three seasons in Columbus with the Tennessee Titans. The others weren’t so lucky, though, as they head to teams with established veterans wearing the rookie's familiar digits.

Of course, these numbers are subject to change as teams trim down their rosters heading into the season. Perhaps some of the former Buckeyes will make a switch when their college numbers become available. 

Until then, check out which numbers the newest batch of Ohio State players in the NFL will be wearing this season below, with their college number(s) in parenthesis:

  • WR Garrett Wilson, New York Jets - No. 17 (No. 5)
  • WR Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints - No. 12 (No. 2 and 17)
  • OT Nicholas Petit-Frere, Tennessee Titans - No. 78 (No. 77 and 78)
  • TE Jeremy Ruckert, New York Jets - No. 89 (No. 88)
  • DE Tyreke Smith, Seattle Seahawks - No. 92 (No. 11)
  • OL Thayer Munford, Las Vegas Raiders - No. 77 (No. 75)
  • DT Haskell Garrett, Tennessee Titans - No. 79 (No. 92)
  • RB Master Teague, New York Giants - No. 23 (No. 33)
  • DT Antwuan Jackson, New York Giants - No. 97 (No. 52 and 90)
  • WR Chris Booker, Arizona Cardinals - No. 34 (No. 86)

Stay tuned as this list will be updated to reflect any future changes.
