49ers rookie uniform numbers: History for each selection

The San Francisco 49ers handed out uniform numbers to their rookies, announcing them Tuesday afternoon. I decided to go through and find out everybody that wore the various jersey numbers in franchise history. The folks at Pro Football Reference have a database of this information, which makes this a lot easier.

These numbers are not all final for the upcoming season. As you can see in the picture above, Aldon Smith initially wore No. 48 when he joined the 49ers. He switched to No. 99 for the regular season. Right now, Kenneth Acker and Mike Davis are both wearing No. 20, Jarryd Hayne and Jermaine Whitehead are both wearing No. 38, Busta Anderson and Shayne Skov are both wearing No. 48, and Patrick Miller and Kaleb Ramsey are both wearing No. 68. Teams can designate the same number to one offensive player and one defensive player. Once roster cuts happen, some jersey numbers will be re-assigned.

Here is a full list of the roster numbers, with who wore them in chronological order. Arik Armstead is the only rookie without a number, and he will likely get his number this weekend when he arrives for the rookie minicamp (why he's not there yet). My guess is Armstead gets 91. He could get 97, but nobody has worn that since Bryant Young, so I doubt he gets that.
