Steelers assign jersey numbers to rookies; Conner gets No. 30

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers assigned their 2017 draft picks jersey numbers Tuesday, including first-round pick T.J. Watt.

Watt was given No. 90, while second-round selection JuJu Smith-Schuster received No. 13.

Former Pitt star and Steelers third-round pick James Conner did not get the number he wore in college.

After wearing No. 24 at Pitt, the Steelers awarded Conner No. 30 Tuesday, and he took to Twitter to celebrate the news.

Conner wore No. 30 when he played for McDowell High School in Erie, Pa., according to the Steelers' website.

Conner jerseys went on sale on May 6 without numbers attached, and now fans can pre-order both Conner and Watt jerseys with their official numbers on the team's website.
