Cowboys' first-round draft pick changes jersey numbers after one weekend
It's still not the No. 2 he wore in college and high school, but Caleb Downs is a few digits closer, having already ditched his minicamp jersey.
If you rushed right out and bought a Caleb Downs No. 18 jersey after rookie number assignments were first announced by the Cowboys last week, there's good news. It's already a collector's item.
The team's initial draft pick and former Ohio State safety has made a switch from the number he sported during last weekend's rookie mincamp. Downs will now wear No. 13, according to Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.
com . That number was most recently worn on the field last season by free agent edge rusher Dante Fowler. Fowler officially signed with Seattle earlier this week, opening up the jersey that was also previously used by DeMarvion Overshown, Michael Gallup, and T.
Y. Hilton, among others. The change will have something of a ripple effect in the Cowboys equipment room.
