As we learned from Mark Tyler’s post earlier this week, Samuel Cosmi is a big man; he stands 6’6” and 314 pounds. For 34 consecutive games, he lined up at right or left tackle for the University of Texas Longhorns and competed, usually dominating the competition across the line of scrimmage, relying on his physical skills.
Washington drafted him in the second round of the 2021 draft.
In Relative Athletic Score (RAS) testing, Cosmi scored a 9.99 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 2nd out of 1,119 offensive tackles tested from 1987 to 2021. This is the highest RAS for an OT ever recorded using

Sam Cosmi spoke to reporters after being selected by the Washington Football Team with the 51st overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He said he’s ready to get to work, and it’s amazing to get drafted. He is going to give it his all 100% of the time. Cosmi describes himself as a mauler, and said if you beat him once, it won’t happen again. He is the most athletic OT in the draft, and it helps him play with more aggression and speed. Cosmi knows he has areas that can be improved, and he is excited to work with OL Coach John Matsko. He is comfortable playing both RT and LT, and he played both at Texas.

This came out of left field, but will make a lot of people in the fan base happy. Ereck Flowers was a reclamation project that worked out for Washington two years ago.
He was a first round pick by the New York Giants that struggled at tackle. Washington signed him, and former OL/Head Coach Bill Callahan converted him to guard. He had a pretty good season on a pretty bad team and parlayed that into a nice payday from the Dolphins. He signed a 3-year, $30 million deal with a $9 million signing bonus. Flowers started 14 games last season.
