One of the most athletic offensive lineman in the 2015 NFL Draft class has found a home: Colorado State left tackle Ty Sambrailo has been selected with the No. 59 overall pick by the Denver Broncos.
2015 NFL Draft: Ty Sambrailo drafted by Broncos in 2nd round
Sambrailo brings athleticism to the Denver offensive line.
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports
How athletic is Sambrailo? He was a nationally ranked youth skier and played soccer in high school ... not something you find on the resume of most offensive linemen. A two-year starter as the blind-side protector for Colorado State, Sambrailo showed off those quick feet by posting the fifth-best three-cone drill among lineman at the combine.
As a sophomore in college, Sambrailo played at four of the five positions on the line. Don’t be shocked if the Broncos take advantage of that versatility -- he could easily be moved to the right tackle position or inside to a guard spot while he adjusts to the NFL. He’s not the strongest guy around, which could cause problems in run blocking, but Sambrailo has room on his 6’6, 311-pound frame to add size and strength.
