Neville Gallimore Highlights

00:56

WEAKNESSES

—Plays smaller than he is listed (6'2", 304 lbs) and lacks functional strength and length (32 ¾" arms). 

—Struggled against powerful blockers.

—Needs to develop his block-shedding toolbox; shoulders into big guards don't work in the Big 12 and definitely won't work in the NFL.

—Gets off the ball quickly but doesn't know what to do after that. 

OVERALL

An impressive athlete when testing and on the field, Gallimore has more potential than his tape at Oklahoma consistently showed. His arm length might turn some coaches off, but Gallimore can get between the gaps on the interior and make plays. His versatility is a huge selling point.

GRADE: 80
