A former Sooner doing great things in the NFL is on the move as offensive lineman Orlando Brown Jr. was dealt from the Baltimore Ravens to the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Kansas City is trading its first-round pick Thursday night, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, per sources.

Brown was a star with Oklahoma being named the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year in both 2016 and 2017 as well as an unanimous All-American in 2017. He was then selected in the 2018 NFL draft by the Ravens with the 83rd overall pick in the third round and immediately flourished.
After a solid rookie season where he made ten starts, he quickly became one of the best offensive tackles in the entire league going to the Pro Bowl in each of the past two seasons. But, this offseason, it became clear both Brown and Baltimore were likely going to part ways after he demanded a trade due to wanting to be used as a left tackle only.
Now, his wish has been granted and he will head to a phenomenal situation in Kansas City with the two-time defending AFC champions and one of the very best quarterbacks in the league in Patrick Mahomes.
