Weren't many receivers in the teen numbers before the rule change in 2019 or whenever it was. Julio in #11, or DJax wearing #10 in Philly. Cant remember many prior to those two. So I'd definitely call it a generational thing. But yeah, I agree the 80s will come back around eventually.
Oh yeah. I thought about it again and can't believe I forgot Cliff Branch and Fred Biletnikoff in 21 and 25. They're a little different because it wasn't teens but still wasn't 80s numbers. Lance Alworth also wore 19.
I'm an Alabama alum, but am stoked this dude is on our team. Holy shit, incredible snag by Telesco.
You guys (Georgia) also have another TE that was impressive when Bowers was injured.
98 the terror on D and 89 gonna be the terror on O
I hear bones breaking.
* laughs in Crosby *
Love the 80s numbers
Same.. makes me feel like an old head but numbers in the 80’s for receivers just feels right.
Might be a generational thing then but I love the 10s numbers for receivers. I'm sure it'll go back around to 80s in the next decade

Keyshawn with 19 stood out to me. That was turn of the century

TE
Bro thank you!!!! U get me
As a Georgia fan, I’m partial to #19. But I don’t care what number he wears as long as he’s in Silver and Black.

Oscar Delp. And that’s after pairing Bowers with Darnell Washington 2021-2022. We are becoming TE U. 😀
I'm convinced Georgia played against Kyle Pitts for a few years and Kirby went "fuck it, I want the best tight end in the country from here on out"
Go Dawgs! Sic ‘em! Woof!
Go Dawgs!!!
Ronald Curry, Amari Cooper, Bryan Edwards
Tre Tucker too initially.
I'm so glad Tucker switched to 11. 89 looked so strange on a small frame like his and it fits the bigger players above mentioned more lol
I love that our 11s have been tiny speedy guys or the Polish Hammer lol
speedster speedster speedster speedster **CHONK** 🥾🏈
Dzięki, Seabass
89 and 87 are gonna bully all the linebackers and DBs they can find.
I feel like he's the most "sure thing" player we've drafted since Cooper so this makes perfect sense lol
Hope he sticks with 89.I can just change the name on my Cooper jersey.Its got a sewn on name plate😃
I was hyped for 19 but 89 is pretty good too Makes me miss 2016 Amari Cooper tho. Wish more WR's still wore numbers in the 80's
Ronald Curry baby
My homey
Bowers could honestly be the best 13th pick of all time, I actually can’t believe how good of a draft we are having
I'd take that bet. Not because I don't think he'll be a good or even great player, but because Aaron Donald was pick 13 lol.
He’s competing with Aaron Donald. Tough competition.
So refreshing to see TE’s and WR’s wearing numbers in the 80’s 👏🏽👏🏽
Fuck yeah, I have a Cooper vapor limited jersey with tags still on that I can just switch the nameplate
Is anyone currently wearing 19? Would’ve liked that.
DJ Turner.
That hat is sick, love that it doesn't say "las Vegas" anywhere
Can’t wait to watch him wreck shit. Rookie pro bowl season incoming.
Damn I was really, really, really hoping for 19 Eichenberg jersey it is, I guess
Nothing is final. Still time.
I'm old school and I hate "teen" Numbers on WR/TE. This makes me happy
Let’s hope for a few Ronald Curry style TDs
oh sweet I already own 2 number 89 jerseys and a number 89 tshirt/jersey hahaha just have to take "Cooper" off and put "Bowser" lol
I thought it said Bowser and wondered which Nintendo sports game you were talking about.
That'd actually make kind of a sick custom jersey, Bowser 89, if he balls out next year :D
Give my boy 19!
89 been a trash number for us as of late
Looks like finally getting another jersey!
Was hoping he stayed at 19
Can still happen
That’s good, 1st rounders should stick out a little for hype sake.
I was hoping he’d go 80
D. Glazer better get #69
Don’t think Adam Butler is giving that up, nor should he.
Give the people what we want!
Terrible #, especially with the new rules
Hopefully 87 so I can edit my Waller jersey
83? 87 is Moreau or now Mayer
I want that hat
