Thanks to veteran kicker Daniel Carlson, Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty will wear a familiar jersey number in his first NFL season.
Carlson is switching to No. 8, the number he wore his first two years with the Raiders, meaning his former No. 2 is open to Jeanty, the Raiders’ rookie running back from Boise State.
The Raiders officially announced the number switch and uniform designations for their entire 11-player rookie draft class on Friday.
Jeanty, the Heisman Trophy runner-up last year, will wear the No. 2 he made famous at Boise State with the nickname “Deuce.”
