The Atlanta Falcons have officially traded starting center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for guard Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. This move signals a significant shift for Atlanta’s offensive line, which previously ranked in the top 10 of the NFL this season. With Neuzil’s departure, the Falcons are expected to install veteran Corey Levin as their new starting center, aiming to maintain the strong run-blocking foundation that supported running back Bijan Robinson earlier in the year.
Atlanta pivots to Corey Levin at center as Baltimore seeks offensive line stability
The trade addresses specific performance gaps for both franchises. Pro Football Focus data indicates that Neuzil had struggled recently, ranking as the No. 20 center in the NFL for run blocking. For Baltimore, which has been plagued by offensive line injuries and poor pass protection, Neuzil represents an immediate upgrade. Although his pass protection was merely mediocre in Atlanta, his experience and skill set offer a tangible improvement for a Ravens unit that has underperformed as a collective.
Both teams remain in the thick of the playoff race despite sitting at the bottom of their respective divisions. The Falcons, currently 3-6, are only a half-game behind the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, both at 3-5. Meanwhile, the Ravens, holding a 4-5 record, look to stabilize their offense under new quarterback Jacoby Brissett. This swap allows Atlanta to refresh its interior line while giving Baltimore the depth and quality needed to string together wins down the stretch.
