The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 2025 jersey number changes are now official, and like every season, roster moves have opened the door to new draft picks. The most talked-about: first-round rookie Emeka Egbuka will once again wear the number 2, the same number he wore at Ohio State.
Until now, he couldn’t do so because the number belonged to Kyle Trask, but after the quarterback’s departure, the receiver now has “his” on-field identity back.
Jalen McMillan And Tez Johnson, Number Swap Underway
The other big change is in the receiving corps. Tez Johnson switches from 83 to 15, displacing Jalen McMillan, who had worn it as a rookie. Everything points to the former Washington player moving to 11, his college number. A sensible move to maintain his roots.
Teddy Bridgewater Recovers A Classic
With Trey Palmer’s departure, the number 10 became vacant, and that’s where Teddy Bridgewater came in. The veteran quarterback wore it in 2023 with the Lions, and now he’s bringing it back to Tampa after years of wearing the number 5. A nod to his experience and career.
Josh Williams And The Value Of 18
Running back Josh Williams leaves behind his number 37 to wear 18. To many, it may seem like a random change, but at LSU, that number represents leadership and character, and it was a special honor Williams proudly wore as a Tiger. Now he’s bringing it to his Bucs uniform.
Riley Dixon Comes Full Circle
Finally, punter Riley Dixon is leaving the number 92 and returning to the number 9, the same number he previously wore during his time with the Broncos and Giants. This completes the list of adjustments.
A Nod To History: Numbers Also Count
At the Bucs, numbers have always been part of the narrative. From Mike Alstott’s iconic 40 to Warren Sapp’s 99, each number brings back memories and symbolism. The latest wave of changes isn’t just aesthetic: it represents confidence, identity, and a new cycle for players starting out or looking to establish themselves in 2025.
