The Baltimore Ravens announced Monday which jersey numbers they’ve assigned their 2014 draft class of nine rookies.
Inside linebacker C.J. Mosley was not only taken with the 17th overall pick in the first round but his jersey number will garner the most attention as he will wear No. 57, which was last worn by Bart Scott and is obviously associated with former Ravens linebacker and current senior advisor of player development O.J. Brigance. The Alabama rookie acknowledged the privilege of wearing the number via his verified Twitter account on Monday afternoon.
The only other jersey number choice of interesting note is second-round defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan being assigned No. 97, which was worn by former Ravens defensive lineman Arthur Jones for the last four years before he signed with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this offseason.
Here is a complete list of the jersey numbers assigned to the 2014 draft class:
LB C.J. Mosley – No. 57
DT Timmy Jernigan – No. 97
FS Terrence Brooks – No. 33
TE Crockett Gilmore – No. 80
DE Brent Urban – No. 96
RB Lorenzo Taliaferro – No. 34
OL John Urschel – No. 64
QB Keith Wenning – No. 10
WR Michael Campanaro – No. 6
