But he struggled the most among the Ravens&#8217; offensive linemen and received heavy criticism for allowing the pocket to collapse for quarterback <a data-player-guid=\"7d76fbb1-1c5e-d9f4-954f-cad43f720ae2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/3916387\/lamar-jackson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lamar Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two seasons, Faalele&#8217;s 93% pass block win rate ranked 25th in the league among guards. He allowed a total of seven sacks during that time.<\/p>\n<p>Faalele&#8217;s effectiveness in the ground game was even worse. His 70.8% run block win rate was 32nd among guards in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n<p>A fourth-round pick by Baltimore in 2022, Faalele became the heaviest player in NFL scouting combine history when he weighed in at 384 pounds. After working hard to drop 14 pounds, he started every game the past two seasons for Baltimore after starting just one in his first two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN&#8217;s Jamison Hensley contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants made an offensive line addition Wednesday, agreeing to a one-year deal with former Baltimore&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-593990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=593990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=593990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=593990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=593990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
