ASHBURN, Virginia -- Washington Redskins rookie linebacker/safety Su'a Cravens picked his new number -- and one of Sean Taylor's old ones -- shortly after the draft, getting an assist from the fans. And, when he did so, Cravens briefly explained why he wanted that number and how much Taylor meant to him.
During the rookie minicamp last weekend, Cravens explained a little more about why he wanted to wear No. 36, the same number Taylor wore during his rookie season in Washington before switching to 21.
The No. 36 had been worn by fullback Darrel Young the past six years, but he’s no longer with the team.
