The Carolina Panthers signed offensive tackle Michael Oher to a two-year contract Friday.

Oher, a first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2009, joins the Panthers after starting 11 games with the Tennessee Titans in 2014. The Titans released him Feb. 5.

Oher will be reunited with offensive line coach John Matsko, who coached the tackle in Baltimore in 2009 and 2010.

In five seasons with Baltimore (2009-13), Oher started all 80 games and helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII after the 2012 season.

Oher is widely known as the subject of the book, “The Blind Side.”

“We look forward to having Michael be a part of what we are building here,” coach Ron Rivera said in a statement released by the team. “He’s a pro who understands what it takes to win. A big part of why we pursued Michael was his relationship with offensive line coach John Matsko and the opportunity to have him work with Ray Brown. We are excited to have him.”
