He has speed to create seperation over the top, as well as enough speed to eat up cushions. He is continuing to better is route running skills. He has good hands, and loves to make plays in the air.
Weaknesses
Gallup is still learning the position. His route running can be crisper. He needs to continue to work on his blocking as well as keeping his motor up on every play.
Big Picture
Gallup is one of the most gifted receivers in this class with his combination of size and speed. He is a well put together athlete and uses it to his advantage. He is a red zone target with his leaping ability and is explosive to win 50/50 balls. Gallup is raw, but has already shown improvement in his route running. He is a mismatch being able to win over the top with speed, or cut a route off being physical across the middle. Look for Gallup to be a Day 2 selection and work to get on the field early in his rookie campaign.
