Shedeur Sanders reveals jersey number change with Cleveland Browns

Shedeur Sanders announced on Monday afternoon that he is returning to his roots with his jersey number. Sanders is switching from No. 12 to his preferred No.

2. Sanders, a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft, will now don the same number he wore at Colorado and Jackson State. The former Colorado star wore No.

12 during his rookie year, as No. 2 was taken by wide receiver DeAndre Carter, who is now a free agent. Sanders reacted to the news by posting "#2" on X and photos of him in a No.

Colorado retired his number last spring after two record-breaking seasons in Boulder.
