INDIANAPOLIS — Colorado State lineman Tyler Sambrailo offers unique athleticism to the tackle position. He won the USSA title for his age group division years ago in the slalom, giant slalom and super G. He hasn’t skied much lately. You know, he’s kind of busy getting on with the rest of his life as a potential early-round NFL draft choice.
Sambrailo, who is being eyed by the Green Bay Packers among others, finished his career strong with the Rams. He earned first-team all-Mountain West honors this past season as Colorado State won 10 games for coach Jim McElwain.
“He changed our mentality from being about ‘me’ to being about ‘us’,” Sambrailo said Wednesday at the NFL combine.
Sambrailo, once a 200-pound freshman high school quarterback, said he hasn’t let his mind wander about the Broncos potentially drafting him. As he said in the video above, he looks forward to playing tackle and believes his feet make him unique. So do his skis.
