Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Orlando Brown Jr. is entering what is just the second season of his NFL career, but he already has big goals.
The Ravens' starting right tackle says that he wants to be at the top of his class in 2019:
“I’m striving for everything I can have,” Brown said at the end of minicamp, according to Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official team website. “My personal goals are being an All-Pro, being a Pro Bowler. No sacks, no pressures, all those different things. As a team, I just want to win. I want to retain the AFC North championship, win playoff games and hopefully get to a Super Bowl.”
Of course, in order to accomplish those individual goals, you need to be in great shape, and Brown is feeling better than ever:
“I feel a lot more defined, a lot stronger in the weight room,” Brown said. “I’ve never been under 325 in my life on bench press. I hit that a few times last week. For me, I had never done anything close to that – maybe 275, 285.”
Brown, who played his collegiate football at the University of Oklahoma, was originally selected by Baltimore in the third round (83rd pick overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.
By his seventh NFL game, he was a starter, and he was one of the Ravens' best offensive linemen:
“I’m a lot more comfortable just being out here at practice, understanding what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, what’s expected of me, my approach and my role,” Brown said. “I think that’s the biggest thing for any player coming in here is understanding your role.”
The Ravens won 10 games and captured the AFC North division crown in 2018.
