Harbaugh Praises New FA OL Al Villanueva, Kevin Zeitler: ‘They’re All Ball, All The Time’

Under different salary cap circumstances, perhaps things would have been different. As they are, the Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision early on that they would not retain left tackle Alejandro Villanueva as he hit unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career.

He landed in Baltimore, where he figures to be the Ravens’ replacement for Pro Bowl right tackle Orlando Brown Jr., after they traded him earlier this offseason at his request. While it is an adjustment for him to move to the other side of the field, head coach John Harbaugh likes what he’s seen from the rebuilt right side of his offensive line—along with right guard Kevin Zeitler.
