4th – Shalom Luani – No. 26

With all-time greats such as Hall of Famer’s Herb Adderley and Rod Woodson having both rocked no. 26, Luani is well on his way to an extremely productive career.

A ballhawk at Washington State, Luani inexplicably dropped to the seventh round, where Reggie had no issue happily snapping him up. Much like Woodson and Adderley, Luani has a knack for key interceptions and has no issue coming up to throw himself into run support.

And while 26 isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing number, by choosing to carry on the tradition of great ballhawks, Luani has set himself up for a fantastic career with one of the best numbers he could have possibly chosen.
