The best Rams player to wear each jersey number, from Mike Lansford to Aaron Donald

The Rams have had some NFL legends suit up for them throughout the franchise’s history, many of whom went on to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Aaron Donald is on his way to Canton someday, too, and he’s played at such a high level that No. 99 has become synonymous with his name in a Rams uniform.

We know Donald is the best Rams player to wear No. 99, but who’s the best to wear every other jersey number? Some choices were easier than others, like Nos. 28 and 29, but others had some worthy candidates.

From No. 1 to 99, here’s a look at the best Ram to wear each number.
