PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced the uniform numbers for their selections in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The club had previously announced that first-round offensive tackle Broderick Jones will wear No. 77, in honor of his fallen Georgia teammate Devin Willock.

No. 77 was last worn by backup guard/tackle Jesse Davis in 2022. Notable Steelers to wear that number include Steve Courson, Carlton Haselrig, Marcus Gilbert, Marvel Smith and Will Wolford.

Former Steelers cornerback and current team scouting assistant Ike Taylor said that Joey Porter Jr. will be wearing his old No. 24 on Tuesday.
