The Oakland Raiders stocked up on former SEC stars during the 2019 NFL Draft, adding Alabama RB Josh Jacobs and Mississippi State S Johnathan Abram in Round 1.
In Round 4, the Raiders scooped up former LSU TE Foster Moreau, and all three former SEC athletes will have a chance to contribute in 2019.
On Wednesday, the Raiders released a list of uniform numbers for the rookies. It was already known that Jacobs would wear No. 28, and now we know Abram will wear No. 24 and Moreau will don No. 87.
Jacobs may get more work as a rookie than originally expected, as Isaiah Crowell tore his ACL this week. Yes, the team re-signed Doug Martin, but Jacobs should still be the featured back.
As for Abram, the Oakland secondary needs a ton of help. And for Moreau — well, someone has to help block for Jacobs.
