Tyler William Sambrailo (/sæmˈbraɪloʊ/ sam-BRY-loh; born March 10, 1992) is an American football tackle for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Colorado State University. He was drafted 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.

High school career

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 Northern Section Division II playoffs in both the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Regarded as an 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]

Professional career

Denver Broncos

Sambrailo was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round, 59th overall, in the 2015 NFL Draft. He opened the first three games of the season at left tackle before being placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury on November 2, 2015.[4] On February 7, 2016, Sambrailo was part of the Broncos team that won Super Bowl 50. In the game, the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10.[5]

Atlanta Falcons

On September 1, 2017, Sambrailo was traded to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2018 fifth round draft pick.[6] He played in 15 games for the Falcons in 2017, starting two at right tackle in place of the injured Ryan Schraeder.
