Vinson offered great size at 6-7 and 321 pounds and great experience as a four-year starter in college, so it&#8217;s easy to see why Warhop had his eyes on him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_fezk62ti9\">So when the Ravens were on the clock\u00a0early in the fifth round, Warhop was &#8220;banging the Carson Vinson drum,&#8221; in the words of head coach John Harbaugh. After the Ravens sent in the pick, Vinson and Warhop shared a special moment on the draft call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_wxsppih1y\">&#8220;Alright big man, do not let me down,&#8221; Warhop said on the call. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been fighting my a** off for you, so come in here ready to work, you got that? &#8230; We&#8217;re going to find out because I&#8217;m going to work the crap out of you, alright?&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"style_18zydjd-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lllxodh2y\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004 ot-vscat-C0004 \" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1916916823435468802&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnfl%2Fravens%2Fnews%2Fbaltimore-ravens-carson-vinson-shares-wholesome-moment-george-warhop&amp;sessionId=ad30595fab31e30dd77105759332459d01db1ff9&amp;siteScreenName=RavenCountryFN&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1916916823435468802\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div id=\"tout_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_363yh5w8p\">At his introductory press conference\u00a0shortly thereafter, Vinson put his trust in Warhop to help him become the best version of himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_a3rf2sjh4\">&#8220;Coach Warhop, he&#8217;s a great coach. So, there&#8217;s a lot of things like that where I feel like I&#8217;m in the perfect position to be the best player that I can be,&#8221; Vinson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hwktu1u6l\">Before the draft, the Ravens hosted Vinson for a top-30 visit, where he clearly made a strong impression. Fast forward to today, and he now gets the chance to suit up for the team that held him in such high regard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bahcujffm\">&#8220;I had my 30 visit with [the Ravens], and it was an amazing time, and you always think it in the back of your head, but, especially coming from a small school, it is almost surreal,&#8221; Vinson said. &#8220;You think it&#8217;s going to happen, but you never really know. So, I saw the Baltimore number pop up, and everything kind of slowed down a little bit. It kind of slowed down. I said, &#8216;Let me answer this call.&#8217; But it&#8217;s just been a blessing. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s even hit me yet, but I can&#8217;t put into words how much I&#8217;m blessed to be put into this position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the newest Baltimore Ravens offensive linemen has a big fan in the building.
