Shedeur Sanders' New Jersey Number Revealed After NFL Pro Bowl Rookie Season with Browns

Bleacher Report • March 30, 2026 • sports

Key Points:

Shedeur Sanders will switch to jersey No. 2 for the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 season, a number he previously wore in high school and college but was unable to wear as a rookie due to it being taken by DeAndre Carter.
The No. 2 jersey has a mixed history with Browns players, including limited success from past wearers like DeAndre Carter, Bailey Zappe, Johnny Manziel, and Tim Couch, though Amari Cooper had notable success with the number.
Sanders aims to break the trend of underperformance associated with the No. 2 jersey and build on his Pro Bowl appearance last season, the first for a Browns quarterback since 2007.
Despite his Pro Bowl selection, Sanders showed room for improvement in his rookie year, throwing for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions with a 56.6% completion rate over eight games.
