Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will wear the No. 12 jersey when he steps onto an NFL field for the first time. The Browns confirmed the news in a social media post on Tuesday. Sanders has worn the No.

The Cleveland Browns announced that former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will no longer wear his "Legendary" No. 2 jersey but will instead wear No. 12. Sanders, who fell to the Browns in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft, will don the same number as his idol and mentor, Tom Brady.

Safety Rodney McLeod wore No. 12 for the Browns last season. The last quarterback to wear No. 12 in Cleveland was Jeff Driskel who started one game in 2023. Colt McCoy, Luke McCown, Vinny Testaverde and Josh Gordon also wore No. 12 with the Browns.
