Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:Another guy who has kind of flown in under the radar, he's a versatile lineman who would also potentially be a good scheme fit. He comes from a very diverse athletic background(basketball, swimming, wrestling) and has played every single position on the OL, spending most of his time at Nevada playing left tackle. He's a super bright guy(pre-med) with tenacity and a motor to go along with his intelligence. Best suited to play guard or center in the NFL.
Austin Corbett, Nevada
This was a player we didn't know much about entering the week but came away impressed by more and more. He took snaps at all five offensive line positions during practice, which instantly gets you notice, and Corbett fared well at all of them. We think he's best inside, but having the ability to play tackle in a pinch is a terrific luxury for NFL teams that might keep only seven blockers active on game day.
Corbett was effective on combo blocks as a guard in drills, he walked back LSU DT Greg Gilmore on one impressive rep, beat Texas DT Poona Ford twice while playing center and then moved to tackle to toss highly touted UTSA pass rusher Marcus Davenport aside.
It was a showcase week for the 6-4, 310-pound Corbett, who went from being a walk-on to becoming a four-year starter at left tackle for the Wolf Pack. Most teams might view him at guard or center, but that kind of versatility could make him a Senio Kelemete-like prospect.
