LOOK: Jaylen Waddle gets his Miami Dolphins jersey number

Former Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was selected No. 6 overall in the 2021 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins. Today, he received his jersey number.

Waddle was the second wide receiver selected in the draft, and the first of 10 Crimson Tide players taken.

In a social media post published by the Dolphins today, the new numbers were shown for both rookies and players who switched numbers from the 2020 season.

The former Alabama star will keep the number he’s worn since highschool, No. 17.

The number was free for the taking, as no one on the 2020 roster had No. 17.

Tua Tagovailoa will look to complete passes to Waddle, as he wears the same number he did when they played together at Alabama.
