Experience led to James Hurst overtaking Orlando Brown Jr. as Ravens’ top right tackle
Posted Sep 7, 2018
James Hurst, 26, is entering his fifth season in the NFL since the Baltimore Ravens signed him as an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina, and his familiarity with the offense swayed offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.“James is a heck of a player." Hurst, who started 16 games at left and right tackle in his first three seasons, started all 16 games a year ago.
