The Baltimore Ravens signed guard Kevin Zeitler to a three-year deal back in March to shore up the interior of their offensive line. He will provide a stable veteran presence while also being able to play at a high level in Baltimore’s ground and pound offense.
While Zeitler officially signed with the team a few months ago, it was never announced what jersey number he would be wearing with the team. However, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun noticed that after not having a number next to Zeitler’s name for multiple weeks, one is now present on the team’s official website.
Per the Ravens' roster, Kevin Zeitler will wear No. 70 this season, as he did for the Browns and Giants. He was unlisted in last week's update.
Still no decision on Andre Smith. Justin Ellis has the No. 71 that Smith wore in Cincinnati.

As Shaffer noted, Zeitler has worn No. 70 for the previous four seasons. After starting out wearing No. 68 for the first five years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, he switched to No. 70 during his time with the Cleveland Browns and kept it after being traded to the New York Giants.
Zeitler is expected to be a key cog on the Ravens’ offensive line for multiple years. Now, it’s known what number he’ll be donning with his new team as he looks to continue to play at a high level.
