Quentin Saulsberry

Quentin Cortez Saulsberry (born October 14, 1988) is an American football offensive lineman who is currently a member of the Denver Broncos. He attended Mississippi State University from 2007 to 2011. Saulsberry is the only player in MSU Bulldogs history to play and start every game of his career (49). He was regarded as one of the best center prospects in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Early years
A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Saulsberry attended Independence High School in Independence, Mississippi, where he was a three-star offensive line prospect. He chose Mississippi State over Ole Miss and Memphis.

College career
After redshirting his initial year at Mississippi State, Saulsberry started all 12 games of the year at right tackle. In his sophomore year, he made the transition to left guard, where he started all 12 games and helped pave the way for Anthony Dixon to set a new school record with 1,391 yards. The Bulldog offense lead the SEC and finish ninth nationally in rushing offense, averaging more than 227 yards per game.

In his junior season, Saulsberry started all but three games at right guard. He once started at left guard, and against Houston and Florida, replaced an injured J. C. Brignone at center. In his senior season, he started all 13 games, nine of which at right guard and four at center. He earned All-SEC Honorable Mention by the Associated Press, and played in the 2012 East–West Shrine Game.

2012 NFL Draft
Considered a bit too small for an elite NFL interior lineman, Saulsberry projects as a late-round selection in the 2012 NFL Draft. He eventually went undrafted, but was signed immediately afterwards by the Vikings. On August 31, 2012 as the Vikings reduced their roster down to league maximum of 53 players, he was released.
