Ex-Nevada offensive tackle Austin Corbett joins an elite club of Nevada alumni being drafted in the second round and above. Corbett joins former Nevada offensive tackle Joel Bitonio on the Cleveland Browns roster. With Cleveland’s loss of All-Pro left tackle Joe Thomas to retirement, the Browns had some holes to fill in their offensive line.
Corbett is a prime example of resilience, and lives up to the Jay Norvell-coined term “Nevada Grit.” Corbett was on the wrong end of a great deal of knee injuries during his high school career. Usually early knee injuries tend to plague an athlete for the rest of their short careers, but Corbett made recovery look easy, playing his full senior year in Reno, Nevada.
