Ryan Mallett takes an unfortunate Ravens' uniform number
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Ryan Mallett is trying to turn around his career, so you would think the Baltimore Ravens would have warned him about choosing No. 7 as his jersey number.
If there is a cursed number in the team's 20-year existence, this is surely the one. Here is a look at the four players who have worn No. 7 in the regular season:
Chris Redman: He chose the number because he was born on July 7, 1977 (7-7-77), but it didn't prove lucky for him. A third-round pick in 2000, Redman went 3-3 as a starter before being benched in favor of Jeff Blake. He later played five seasons as an Atlanta Falcons backup.
