After drafting seven players this past weekend, all seven of the Cincinnati Bengals’ 2026 NFL Draft picks have been given their jersey numbers. These are numbers we have seen many great players wear before in Bengals’ history.
Cashius Howell: #55
Obviously, the last Bengals player to wear No. 55 was Logan Wilson. Before that, linebackers Vontaze Burfict and Keith Rivers wore No. 55.
Tacario Davis: #20
DJ Turner wore No. 20, and he will be wearing No. 0 this season. Other notable players to wear No. 20 recently include Eli Apple, Reggie
Nelson, and Tory James. The most notable No. 20 for the Bengals is “Leaping” Lemar Parrish.
Connor Lew: #65
Alex Cappa wore No. 65 most recently. Before him, players like Max Montoya, Larry Ogunjobi, Clint Boling, and Eric Steinbach.
Colbie Young: #86
Noah Fant wore No. 86 last year. Other recent players to wear No. 86 include Devin Asiasi, Mason Schreck, and, most notably, Darnay Scott.
Brian Parker II: #62
Lucas Patrick wore No. 62 last year with the Bengals. No. 62 is a very special number for the Bengals. It’s the number “Mr. Bengal” and Bengals Ring of Honor inductee Dave Lapham wore for his whole career. Lapham has been in the Bengals’ broadcast booth since the late 1980s.
Jack Endries: #84
Endries isn’t the first seventh-round pick to wear No. 84. T.J. Houshmanzadeh wore it during his time here with the Bengals. Other players to wear No. 84 include the great Bob Trumpy, Mitchell Wilcox, and Jermaine Gresham.
Landon Robinson: #96
Cam Sample wore No. 96 for the past five years, following Carlos Dunlap’s over 10-year run wearing No. 96.
