“When I got mine [Top] 30 to the Ravens, I had a good feeling,” Faalele said. “Coach ‘D’ [offensive line coach Joe D’Alessandris] he is a good coach. We had a great meeting. He talked about how he coached Orlando Brown [Jr.] and things already. He just gave me that confidence. I know I am in good hands.
“I had a good feeling then that we would be equal, and I’m glad that everything worked out.”
