General manager Eric DeCosta made a rare transaction with a division rival by sending the Cleveland Browns a sixth-round pick in 2024 in exchange for their AFC North foe’s final pick in this year’s draft.

Vorhees was expected to be a mid-round pick and projected to go as high as the third round before he suffered a torn ACL at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. However, even that didn’t stop him from showing his grit and toughness as still opted to perform the bench press and his 38 reps were the most of any prospect at any position at the annual event.
Even through adversity — @Andrew_Vorhees hit the most reps on bench out of all prospects at this years #NFLCombine! ????????✌️
