That's over 40% of the final squad....or 20% of the preseason team. It will be interesting to see how many can make the final cuts vs. last year's talent...it may be a higher percentage than expected.

Not a fan of #1, but it is what it is. I'm betting that the rookie DBs switch numbers once a lot of the guys currently taking up space in the 20s get cut.

There are a few.

#1 is cool for Tua.

Jerseys are now available but I don't see the throwback anywhere. Some things about this league just leave me scratching my head. Get all the jerseys, and whatever variants, up and running asap. Isn't there money to be made?

Number 1 is a great number for him! It's perfect in my opinion. So hyped about him, the excitement keeps growing. I'll definitely be buying a jersey.

I'm pretty hyped up over the kid too...I hope he can stick...can do a LOT of things well.

If he is good enough Garo Yepremian would have been wearing Tua's number.

Is the โ€œfirst round pickโ€ Tua jersey on the NFL fan shop a real jersey, or a quick cash grab?

Both.

Read the fine print. They don't send out the jersey until there is a number.
