Sports Illustrated released its selections for the best players in NFL history by jersey number Wednesday.
Mixed in with Oakland Raiders center Jim Otto (who wore No. 00) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp (No. 99) is middle linebacker Ray Lewis, who was crowned as the top player to wear the No. 52 jersey.
Lewis, an 11-time Pro Bowler and the Ravens' lone player on the list, beat out runner-up and Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster, Houston Oilers linebacker Robert Brazile, Cleveland Browns center Frank Gatski and New England Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson for the distinction.
