49ers Draft Picks Select Jersey Numbers

by David Fucillo on May 10, 2011 10:13 AM PDT in 49ers Rookies

While the 49ers draft picks won't be signing contracts anytime soon, that hasn't stopped them from picking jersey numbers. All the rookies except for Aldon Smith have figured out what number they're going to wear for the upcoming 2011 NFL season. Smith has elected to continue thinking about what number he'll wear next season. Here are the numbers for the remaining picks.

QB Colin Kaepernick - No. 7
CB Chris Culliver - No. 29
RB Kendall Hunter - No. 32
OL Daniel Kilgore - No. 67
WR Ronald Johnson - No. 88
S Colin Jones - No. 43
FB Bruce Miller - No. 49
OL Michael Person - No. 78
CB Curtis Holcomb - No. 41

Last year we had a brief series of posts on the 49ers by the numbers over the years. Smileyman had gotten through 23, so most of the above numbers haven't been hit up yet. For jersey number 7, the 49ers haven't exactly had an exalted history. Some of the more "successful" number sevens in 49ers history might be Ken Dorsey or Wade Richey.

I've got a rundown of jersey numbers throughout 49ers history and we'll take a look back at previous players at each number in the coming weeks.

Stepping into Elway's number

I think I’d choose #3, can’t think of any good #3s. Could own the number.

I would ask for 16. Even if I played tackle.

No. 49

Don’t remember last time a 49er wore that number. Who was the last one to wear that?

I thought so too

But maybe he’ll change it

These guys will have something to say

I am getting a number 7 jersey

I pretty much told him I would in that chat he did for Cat Country.

Boise St Did you feel that this game got the scouts attention? Or do you have a game in college where you was in the zone and nobody would stop you from winning?
by chriscream on Feb 10, 2011 3:40 PM PST

i think that was the first game people realized how good our team was and put us on the map. there have been a few games like that, but most of the time you don’t realize it until after the game is over.

by Colin Kaepernick on Feb 10, 2011 3:57 PM PST

If your a Niner I am getting your Jersey!

I'm in business of giving the business and business is booming!

What the hell is taking Smith so long?

Is he waiting for Lawson to bail so he can wear 99?

by madmatt on May 10, 2011 12:03 PM PDT reply actions

I think he does want a number that's taken

and the player is likely to be cut, my guess…who are some guesses!?!?

Has to be a number in the 50's or 90's, right?

So I think it could one of Lawson(99), Haralson(98), or Laboy(54), because I highly doubt we’re keeping them all. But I guess it could also be one of the bench warmers, too, like Alex Joseph(58) or Keaton Kristick(57).

by madmatt on May 10, 2011 2:59 PM PDT up reply actions

yeah, also Evans, perhaps McDonald, Franklin

Not saying I think these guys are goners, but Smith could be holding out to see if a number frees up in the 90’s…my guess.

Seven seems perfect for Kaepernick.

It’s the first non-trivial “Happy Number”, and he always seems so upbeat. Will we retire the number when he’s done with it, or five years later when he enters the Hall of Fame?
