On Tuesday, they already received a first welcome gift. As the team announced via social media, the group has been assigned its first NFL jersey numbers. Those digits range from first-round pick Caleb Lomu getting No. 74 to seventh-rounder Quintayvious Hutchins receiving No. 45. In numerical order, here is the full list of numbers for the Patriots’ draft choices as rookie minicamp nears. **15:** QB Behren Morton **21:** CB Karon Prunty **30:** RB Jam Miller **45:** ED Quintayvious Hutchins **48:** LB Namdi Obiazor **50:** ED Gabe Jacas **68:** OT Dametrious Crownover **74:** OT Caleb Lomu **82:** TE Eli Raridon Even though none of the numbers can directly be traced back to the nine players’ college days, there is a logic behind some of them. The aforementioned Caleb Lomu, for example, wore No. 71 at Utah. With that number currently occupied by starting right guard Mike Onwenu in New England, however, he was given the closest available in the 70s. Fellow offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, meanwhile, went from 78 — a retired number with the Patriots (Bruce Armstrong) — to 68. Second-round selection Gabe Jacas, on the other hand, returns to the 50s after sporting No. 17 at Illinois; he wore 52 in high school but both that and his college number are already taken by Patriots offensive tackle and punter , respectively. With him getting No. 50, he becomes the first Patriot since Mike Vrabel’s arrival last year to receive the head coach’s former digits. The Patriots’ reported remains without official numbers for the time being. Together with the team’s nine drafted players and a , they will participate in rookie minicamp between Friday, May 8, and Sunday, May 10.
