Detroit Lions Sign 14 Rookies Unveil 2025 Jersey Numbers

As the Detroit Lions begin their 2025 rookie minicamp, the team has released initial jersey numbers for their seven draft picks and ten undrafted free agents (UDFAs), though these numbers may change before the regular season. First-round pick Tyleik Williams, a defensive tackle from Ohio State, will wear No. 78 and is expected to contribute significantly as a rookie, while other notable draft picks include Georgia offensive lineman Tate Ratledge and Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. The Lions have officially signed several rookies, including offensive lineman Miles Frazer, edge rusher Ahmed Hassanein, safety Dan Jackson, and wide receiver Dominic Lovett, but Houston EDGE Keith Cooper Jr., previously reported to sign, remains unsigned and is currently a tryout player. The rookie minicamp, running from May 9–11, gives these players their first opportunity to impress the coaching staff and compete for roster spots alongside tryout players and veterans. Fans are cautioned against prematurely purchasing rookie jerseys, as numbers often shift when the roster is finalized. Overall, the minicamp marks a critical first step for the Lions’ rookie class to integrate into the team and showcase their potential.
