The Baltimore Ravens selected offensive tackle Daniel Faalele with the No. 110 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Faalele weighed 400+ pounds when he arrived in Baltimore, but has slimmed down to about 365-370 pounds.
Following Baltimore’s Tuesday morning practice, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken reacted to Faalele receiving online criticism for one play.
Faalele was bull rushed on a play by Colts Adetomiwa Adebawore, who then dropped quarterback Cooper Rush for an eight-yard sack.
After moving from offensive tackle to offensive guard, Faalele was named a Pro Bowl alternate after surrendering one sack and 30 pressures in 504 pass-blocking opportunities last season.
