Falcons Center Swap: Neuzil to Ravens, Levin Steps In
11 Nov
Summary
- Atlanta traded center Ryan Neuzil to Baltimore for Andrew Vorhees.
- Corey Levin is expected to start at center against the Chiefs.
- Gus Hartwig was signed to the practice squad for depth.
The Atlanta Falcons have initiated a significant change to their offensive line, trading starting center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens. In exchange, the Falcons acquired guard Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. This move leaves a vacancy at the center position as the team prepares to face the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.
Veteran offensive lineman Corey Levin is the projected successor to Neuzil. While not having extensive starting experience at center, Levin has seven career starts and served as Neuzil's backup throughout the season. His familiarity with the team's offensive scheme and communication responsibilities will be crucial against a potent Chiefs defense.
To further address the center position, Atlanta has signed Gus Hartwig to their practice squad. Hartwig brings significant college experience from Purdue, where he made 48 starts. His addition provides additional depth and a developmental option for the Falcons as they navigate the transition following Neuzil's departure.
Neuzil's departure concludes his tenure with the Falcons, where he played in 69 games and made 38 starts since joining as an undrafted free agent in 2021. The trade also reunites him with former Falcons offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford. The Falcons aim for Levin to provide stability in the offensive line's critical center role.
