When you ask Dr. Leigh Ann Curl about her most memorable moments as the head orthopedic surgeon with the Baltimore Ravens, she doesnโ€™t talk about Dennis Pittaโ€™s hips or Marshal Yandaโ€™s knees or Joe Flaccoโ€™s back.

โ€œI remember the excitement of the first NFL season,โ€ Curl said, recalling 1999, when she was added to the Ravensโ€™ staff by their then-head orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Claude T. Moorman. โ€œCertainly, I had self-doubts. I was young and didnโ€™t have much experience. I remember the two Super Bowl years [2000 and 2012 seasons]. It is what they play the games for. Whatever minute role you had in it, you certainly appreciate as a team physician what it takes to get there. So many never get there.โ€
