Sweet! Why isn't he playing in the CFL? He has more talent than playing in the AFL.
Sambrano is one of my all-time favorite Griz, because of his athleticism (SPEED). He was a game-changer.
Quoting Coach Pflugrad: "He has tremendous speed, and the first time I remember seeing that really showing at Sac State in `09, and he took a screen and he just put his foot on the ground and went fast, and no one was even close and you could see him pull away from everybody. There's occasions in which he has been able to show that speed.
"Unfortunately, he has been hampered by injuries. When he's healthy I don't know if there's anyone in our league who can run with him. That top-end speed is really nice to have, not only as a receiver, but we want to get him more involved in the punt return game, and in the kickoff return game, and other areas on special teams. We're going to try to get him on the field more than he has the last three years, although we have to be cautious there, because he's had some injuries that have cost him games."
I looked up Sambrano's speed on athletic.net, all I found was collegiate times for him. Dalton Daum's high school comparable event times (200m) were faster...
Sambrano started for the Griz as a true frosh, but had little significance as almost all true frosh. (2008: He lettered as a "true" freshman, playing in 10 games but missed six games due to injury. He had five catches for 59 yards and nine kickoff returns for 161 yards for 220 all-purpose yards.)

Can never think of Sambrano without remembering the "miracle" catch in the dark and the snow in the Appy State playoff game that proved to be the winning score. Absolutely incredible. There are replays of it and I still get chills watching it.
