The Baltimore Ravens have made headlines with their latest defensive addition, and the details are starting to fall into place.
Jaire Alexander may be the newest big name on the roster, but he understands that real acceptance comes through beating division rivals like Pittsburgh.
The All-Pro cornerback has already begun settling into his new surroundings by securing his preferred jersey number.
Alexander will continue wearing No. 23 with the Ravens, maintaining the same digits he sported throughout his Green Bay tenure.
“New Ravens CB Jaire Alexander will wear No. 23 in Baltimore, keeping the same number he had in Green Bay.” The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov shared.

This decision required some roster shuffling, as linebacker Trenton Simpson previously held that number and will now transition to No. 32.
The Ravens are orchestrating several jersey number changes as their roster takes shape before the season begins.
Baltimore created significant buzz last week by signing the two-time Pro Bowler to a one-year deal potentially worth $6 million.
Reports suggested Alexander chose the Ravens despite interest from both Atlanta and Miami.
This acquisition strengthens an already elite secondary while reuniting Alexander with quarterback Lamar Jackson, his longtime friend and former Louisville teammate.
