After weeks of anticipation, the Falcons finally released their rookie jersey numbers on Thursday afternoon. First-round pick Michael Penix will wear the No. 9, the same number he wore in college at Washington. Atlanta’s second-round pick, defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro, will wear the No. 98, and third-rounder Bralen Trice is set to wear No. 48.
For whatever reason, NFL fans tend to be slightly obsessed with rookie uniform numbers. However, it makes sense when a team selects a new quarterback, as the Falcons did with Penix. Check out the full list of rookie jersey numbers along with Twitter reactions from fans below:
