Ravens BREAKING: Baltimore Selects USC OL Andrew Vorhees in Seventh Round of NFL Draft
The Baltimore Ravens continue to make waves during the NFL Draft. The Ravens have engineered a trade with the Cleveland Browns that gave them the No. 229 overall pick, where they selected USC Trojans offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees.
Vorhees is a versatile college veteran who generates consistent displacement in the run game but is limited by his arm length, pad level, and hand placement.
Per SI's Draft Bible, "Vorhees has experience starting at right guard, left tackle, and left guard, with nearly 3,500 offensive snaps under his belt. ... Vorhees’ wide and powerful base makes him a stout obstacle for pass rushers. He has quick feet and shuffle steps that remain low to the ground. In pass protection, the All-American guard displays independent hand usage. He has a strong understanding of redirecting defenders around the pocket.
"The sixth-year prospect displays sufficient speed and mobility to handle pulling duties and properly identifies and eliminates threats as a pulling guard. Vorhees seals linemen inside or out on run plays with ease. His leg drive creates displacement in the run game, and he generates displacement on down blocks. Vorhees has a mean streak in the run game, which showed up when he finished multiple defenders to the ground against Stanford (2022). Vorhees appeared on Bruce Feldman’s 2022 Freaks List for The Athletic. According to Feldman, the veteran college star can bench-press 225 lbs. (the NFL Combine bench weight) 40 times. Vorhees is an older prospect who drew five penalties this past season. ... While Vorhees has a mean streak, he’s not a consistent mauler."
Vorhees will be unavailable at the start of the season for the Ravens as he tore his ACL at the Combine. But he also won the Combine bench press with that torn ACL.
