Lil'Jordan Humphrey's tweet teases new jersey number with Broncos
It looks like Lil'Jordan Humphrey has picked his new jersey number with the Broncos.
Lil'Jordan Humphrey will have a new number this season. Humphrey wore No. 17 with the Denver Broncos last year, but the team gave that number to Jaylen Waddle after the wide receiver was acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins earlier this week.
One day after the Waddle trade became official, Humphrey tweeted an emoji showing a hand holding up five fingers, which presumably means he's switching to No. 5. Humphrey has previously worn Nos.
17, 83, 84, and 89 in the NFL. Humphrey is one of eight players on the team's online roster without a listed number, and No. 5 is among the available numbers.
The list of recent players who wore No. 5 with the Broncos includes quarterbacks Joe Flacco (2019) and Teddy Bridgewater (2021), and pass rushers Randy Gregory (2022-2023) and Baron Browning (2024). 🤚🏾 — Lil’Jordan Humphrey (@LJ_Humphrey23) March 19, 2026 Last year, wide receiver Trent Sherfield took No.
