NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A longtime NFL scout I know used to look forward to passing through Youngstown State.

From 2010 to 2018 Carmen Bricillo coached the offensive line there.

"When I went in asking about players, he would talk about schemes and techniques and then show film on how it was applied," the scout said. "The details were impressive! His guys were 1-AA players who were worth looking at because they were so technical."

Bricillo, the Titans' new offensive line coach, had a hand in three Penguins linemen getting a look from the league as undrafted free agents. Lamar Mady played seven games for the 2013 Raiders. Chris Elkins was brought in by the 2014 Steelers, while Vitas Hrynkiewicz signed with the Rams in 2019.
