At long last, the Ravens have announced the numbers that its newly drafted rookie class will wear.
The Ravens first round pick, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, will wear number 29. The number 29 went unused in 2016, but Humphrey’s college number, 26, was already taken. 26 belongs to Ravens 2016 draft pick Maurice Canady. The last Raven to wear the number 29 was recently retired running back Justin Forsett.
Ravens second round draft pick Tyus Bowser will wear number 54. Bowser wore number 81 at Houston, but linebackers are ineligible to wear 81 in the NFL.
