Despite battling significant injuries, his talent and impact remain undeniable, and his place among the organization’s top players is secure.No. 26 belongs to Lardarius Webb, one of the most dynamic defensive backs of the John Harbaugh era. Webb’s ability to play cornerback, nickel, and safety made him invaluable to multiple defensive coordinators.
