Tyler William Sambrailo (/sæmˈbraɪloʊ/ sam-BRY-loh; born March 10, 1992) is an American former professional football player who was a tackle in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Colorado State Rams. He was selected by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft, where he was a member of the Super Bowl 50 championship team after they beat the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10. He was also a member of the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans.

Early life

A native of Watsonville, California, Sambrailo attended Saint Francis Central Coast Catholic High School, where he was a two-way lineman and three-year team captain. Sambrailo was a first-team all-state selection as a senior and was named the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League Offensive and Defensive Lineman of the Year. The St. Francis Sharks advanced to the CIF Central Coast Section CCS Division III playoffs in both the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Regarded as the only two-star recruit by Rivals.com,[1] Sambrailo was not ranked among the top offensive linemen of his class, which was highlighted by Seantrel Henderson, Luke Joeckel, and Jake Matthews.[2] Sambrailo drew limited recruiting interest and eventually chose Colorado State over scholarship offers from Sacramento State, Southern Utah, and Weber State.

College career

Sambrailo was the lone junior on a solid offensive line that helped contribute to the Colorado State Rams reaching the 2013 New Mexico Bowl.[3]
