Arizona Cardinals guard Evan Brown has a new number in 2025. In 2024 when he signed a one-year deal and became the team’s starting left guard, he wore No. 62.

He has selected a new number. This year, he is wearing No. 63.

He didn’t have to swap numbers. No one on the roster has No. 62 right now.

Why the change? It appears to be his preferred number.

He wore No. 63 at SMU. In his rookie season, he wore No. 67 and No. 68 with the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins. In 2020 with the Cleveland Browns, he went back to No. 63. When he went to the Detroit Lions later that season, he wore No. 62 and then went to No. 63 in the seasons to follow. In his one season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2023, he wore No. 63.

Last season, he wore No. 62 because No. 63 belonged to offensive lineman Trystan Colon.

So now he goes back to No. 63 having signed a two-year deal.

Brown started all 17 games for the Cardinals at left guard last season.
