Taylor Doll talks with A.J. Black of Eagles Insider and the Locked on Boston College Podcast to discuss Chicago Bears’ second-rounder, Ozzy Trapilo.
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by A.J. Black of Eagles Insider and the Locked on Boston College Podcast to discuss the Chicago Bears‘ newest offensive tackle, Ozzy Trapilo. They talk about his progression through college, his best fit on the offensive line, his role on the BC offense, and his leadership skills that were developed.
In 2021, Ozzy’s redshirt freshman year, he saw immediate playing time, getting two starts while appearing in ten games. The next season (2022), they started him in ten games at left tackle for a bad Boston College team. But from there it was all uphill for him.
“The amount of development from 2022 to when he graduated last year is very, very clear,” Black told Taylor. “He’s smart, articulate, a leader, just a great guy, but he’s a tough, tough as nails. He’s everything that you want in a trench warrior.”
“They’ve always had leaders, but when it was Ozzy’s turn to do it, he went from more of a quieter offensive lineman that followed what the leaders in that room were doing to the leader. He took over that room last year. You would talk to him at press conferences, and you could tell he took responsibility for things that weren’t going right, for making sure guys knew what they were supposed to be doing, and really just being the glue for that room.”
