The eight players selected by the Steelers in the 2015 NFL Draft now have jersey numbers, but you may not want to order a customized jersey just yet since they are subject to change.

Because of a shortage of available numbers for certain positions, the NFL enacted a new jersey number policy this offseason, paving the way for Bud Dupree to wear No. 48 this season. Here is the rest of the list, according to Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

As Kaboly notes, Dri Archer changed his number last season after rookie minicamp. Steelers fans are probably hoping Sammie Coates does the same considering the last Steeler draftee to wear No. 14 was none other than Limas Sweed.
