Jaguars Notebook: Ramsey seeks new number

New Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey wore Nos. 8 and 13 during his Florida State career. Those numbers aren’t available to him because of NFL rules for defensive backs (Nos. 20-49).

The only non-duplicate number open for Ramsey after he was drafted fifth overall was No. 38, previously held by forgettable free safety Sergio Brown.

During a break in Friday’s rookie orientation camp, Ramsey admitted he is looking for a swap.

“I’m a ‘Jordan Brand’ athlete — I’ll leave it [at that],” he said.

That would mean Ramsey wants to wear No. 23, currently held by strong safety James Sample, who swapped out No.
