He will; nes, the 90th pick in the draft out of Boston College, wore No. 1 in college. He can’t wear that in Arizona, as that number belongs to quarterback Kyler Murray.

So what number will he wear?

He gets No. 28, worn last season by safety Qwuantrezz Knight. Before that, it belonged to special teams ace and safety Charles Washington.
