The Baltimore Ravens made a last-minute trade during the 2023 NFL draft to move back in and secure offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees. The former USC star tore his ACL at the 2023 NFL scouting combine and ended up being selected in the seventh round instead of where he was originally projected.
Both Vorhees and fellow Ravens offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley have dealt with significant injuries throughout their careers. Stanley was asked about the conversations between the two and said that injury conversations probably happened while Vorhees was injured, but not so much now.
“I feel like if there was [conversations about his injury], that probably happened during his injury. It was probably more as he was going through the rehab process. But now, we’re just talking about football. We’re not really talking about injuries, and he’s not complaining about anything. He’s been full go. I think everything has been good from that perspective, but yes. Right now, we’ve just been focused on football.”
Stanley said that now the two are just talking football and will continue to get more familiar with each other, especially if Vorhees wins the starting left guard spot next to Stanley. The former Notre Dame star is a steady presence to play next to, which would help Vorhees immensely.
