Ravens acquire Ryan Neuzil in trade with Atlanta

The Baltimore Ravens have acquired offensive lineman Ryan Neuzil from the Atlanta Falcons, with Andrew Vorhees moving in the other direction. The deal reunites Neuzil with former coach Dwayne Ledford and adds another interior-line option after Baltimore’s recent acquisition of Cam Jurgens. Neuzil started every regular-season game for Atlanta last year.

Neuzil and Vorhees change teams

Ryan Neuzil is joining the Baltimore Ravens, an American professional football team, in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons. Offensive guard Andrew Vorhees is moving to Atlanta in return. The transaction brings Baltimore an interior offensive lineman with a full season of starts behind him: Neuzil started all 17 of Atlanta’s regular-season games last year.[1], [2]

A reunion with Dwayne Ledford

Neuzil arrived in professional football from Appalachian State in 2021 without being selected in the draft. In Atlanta he worked under offensive-line coach Dwayne Ledford, who now coaches Baltimore’s offensive line and coordinates its running game. The move reunites the player and coach. Baltimore also has another former Atlanta lineman, Jovaughn Gwyn, who joined during the offseason.[1]

Baltimore reshapes its interior line

The Ravens recently acquired Cam Jurgens, who has started twice for his new team. Rookie Vega Ioane and John Simpson are also interior-line options. Vorhees leaves after appearing in five games this season, including two starts; last year he started all 17 games at left guard. Gwyn started Baltimore’s first three games before injuring his knee in the game in Brazil.[1]
