Former Ravens RB Gus Edwards switching up jersey number after signing with Chargers

The Baltimore Ravens’ running back position was a massive question mark entering the 2024 free agency. They had three quality ball carriers as free agents, but not many expected any of them back in the fold.

Baltimore’s leading rusher signed with the Los Angeles Chargers on the first day of free agency on a two-year deal. A few months after the news broke, Los Angeles announced that Edwards would change a severe jersey number, going from No. 35 to No. 4.

Edwards signed as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers in 2018. He was remarkably consistent as a yards-per-carry player and rarely lost yards on his opportunities.
