The No. 58 is a recognizable one for Cincinnati Bengals fans.
Modern household names like Rey Maualuga donned the number in the heart of the defense. Not long after, Carl Lawson was an effective pass rusher for the defense while wearing that number in the trenches.
The number even has some long-running history of production for the franchise, too, dating all the way back to the late 60s with Al Beauchamp. Now, the promising Joseph Ossai wears the number.
With roughly 58 days until the Bengals start the season against the Patriots, here’s a look at every player to wear the number, courtesy of Pro Football Reference.
