Samuel Cosmi 2021 NFL Draft Player Profile<\/h2>\n

After four seasons at Texas and turning heads at his pro day, Samuel Cosmi<\/a> is among this year\u2019s top offensive line prospects. Cosmi started 35 career games at Texas, primarily protecting the blindside of his quarterback at left tackle. Just a three-star recruit<\/a> out of high school in Humble, Texas, Cosmi developed into a strong NFL talent during his time with the Longhorns. Interestingly, Cosmi grew up focused on soccer<\/a> before playing fullback in high school, then eventually to tackle. While it is one of the deepest group of line talent in recent history, Cosmi represents one of the premium options in the bunch. It surprised some when the tackle opted to skip the 2019 NFL Draft to return to Texas, but more tape solidified his position. His first-team All-Big 12 honors further sweetened the deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Cosmi, teams will like the tape that reveals the tackle to be a flexible fit for many offensive schemes. While he played tackle at Texas, his strength, speed, and physicality could easily translate to the guard position. His package of physical tools jumped off the page at his pro day. There, he ran a blazing 4.85-second 40-yard dash and stacked it with 36 bench press reps. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cosmi’s combination of size, power, and speed is incredibly rare, especially for the frequently stone-footed offensive line position. Though he\u2019s not a perfect prospect, the physical tools give offensive line coaches a lot of room to work. In Cosmi, teams could easily identify the player to be a day-one starter on their offensive line. He might need a little time developing the technique to play guard and his technique, in general, could use refinement. Regardless, his resume is strong and his physical tools should have many teams circling Cosmi in the draft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
