ANALYSIS
As the preeminent authority on all things related to #JerseyNumberAnalytics, here are my incredibly important takes.
- C.J. Gardner-Johnson switched from being No. 23 in 2022 to No. 8 in 2024. Now Adoree’ Jackson is the new No. 8. Jackson’s aesthetic at USC in No. 2 looked good but I don’t see the single digit translating well here. The Eagles’ No. 8 just isn’t a great look in their jersey font (except for their Kelly Green uniforms). I don’t know if Jackson will be able to have success in No. 8.
- What is Joshua Uche doing? He went from previously wearing numbers in the 50s to now wearing No. 13. He has no chance of succeeding in that number. I guess he wanted to be bold and try to carve out a path as the first Eagles defender to ever wear No. 13.
- Dorian Thompson-Robinson wore No. 1 at UCLA (obviously taken in Philly) and No. 17 on the Cleveland Browns (obviously taken in Philly). So, he had to go with a new number and No. 14 is OK for a player fighting to be QB3. It’s better than Kyle McCord in No. 19. DTR is the first Eagles quarterback in No. 14 since A.J. Feeley. No. 14 became available with Kenny Gainwell leaving Philly to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Avery Williams is listed as “RS” (for return specialist) on the Eagles’ official website roster page. Nick Sirianni really talked him up at the owners meetings. And now he’s wearing No. 18, which was previously worn by Britain Covey (who just signed with the Los Angeles Rams). Good signs for Williams thus far.
- The first thought that came to mind for AJ Dillon wearing...
