CHESTNUT HILL, Mass – All 32 NFL teams were represented at Boston College on Monday and got a chance to see some interesting prospects heading into the 2025 NFL Draft.
One of them was offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo, who is considered to be a day-two prospect.
And Eagles head coach Bill O'Brien made it clear that anyone interested in Trapilo is getting a very talented player and an even better guy off the field. Specifically, he see him as a good fit in the new team Mike Vrabel is building.
“I mean to me, it’s a great question,” O’Brien told reporters at BC Pro Day. “It’s an easy question for me because Ozzy is the type of guy who is just the same guy every day. Never misses practice. Very tough, very talented, very smart – he’s got a master’s degree from Boston College.
“He’d be excellent in the locker room. He’ll do whatever the coach asks him to do. He’ll play right tackle, he’ll play left tackle, he’ll play guard if you ask him – he’ll do whatever you ask him to do. He always puts the team first, and I think that’s some of the things that Mike’s probably looking for. I’m not telling Mike who to draft, but I don’t think he can go wrong with Ozzy Trapilo.”
Trapilo only took part in the offensive line drills on Monday, but did everything at the 2025 NFL Combine.
