New jersey score: 49ers rookies pick a number
The numbers are in. Here are the jerseys the newest 49ers will wear this season. Again, first-round pick Arik Armstead is not on the list because he has not yet reported with the team. He is expected to do so Friday and likely will sign his rookie contract thereafter.
DeAndre Smelter has chosen No. 15, which he wore at Georgia Tech and which was worn by Michael Crabtre since 2009. Crabtree is now in Oakland. Offensive lineman Trent Brown, who may be the biggest player on the team, is wearing No. 77, formerly worn by Mike Iupati, who used to be the biggest player on the team.
