The Cincinnati Bengals have given jersey numbers to most of their rookie class according to the Bengals official website. First-round pick Ohio State center Billy Price will wear the number 53. The last Bengal to wear that uniform was linebacker Marquis Flowers. Flowers was traded to the New England Patriots before last season.
Second round pick Wake Forest safety Jessie Bates has been assigned number 30. Probably the best player to wear that number in a Bengals uniform would be running back Icky Woods. While a short career due to injuries, Woods grew a fan base scoring 15 touchdowns his rookie season and averaging 5.
