Quinshon Judkins switches to No. 1 jersey for Browns

Number change confirmed: Judkins will wear No. 1 in 2026, a number he previously wore at Ohio State, after No. 10 was assigned to rookie linebacker Justin Jefferson.

Why it matters: The switch aligns with Judkins’ college identity and became possible after Martin Emerson’s departure freed up the number.

Comeback season ahead: After a rookie season cut short by injury, Judkins is expected to play a major role under new offensive-minded head coach Todd Monken.

Hey Flugs, I believe the #34 is freed up with Ford leaving, What Do You Think ?

Judkins & Concepcion cannot both be wearing #1.

I won't be wasting my time if they roll Watson out as starting QB. It's been about a decade since he's played good football.

My recollection, a while back Judkins announced that he was switching numbers...but didn't say to what number. Then media speculation projected the #1 on him. Then they gave his #10 out to a new LB. Now Concepcion switched to #1 and Judkins is SOL. And new reporting is saying that Judkins can have his old #10 back. Silly-Season.

I like #1 for Concepcion. I think if you get issued #10 or 12...you never turn them back in.

My vote goes to Royer as TE2 / WR6. Fannin is somewhere in the top5 WR's.

Country Gronk was underappreciated at OSU, he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

I wonder if Green will see KR reps to preview his eventual switch to fulltime WR.

Ohio State's offense hasn't been TE friendly in a long time.
