Michael Gallup 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

When you hear talks about this upcoming draft and the discussion about the wide receiver position the three common names you hear are SMU\u2019s Courtland Sutton<\/strong><\/a>, Alabama\u2019s Calvin Ridley<\/strong><\/a>, and Maryland\u2019s\u00a0D.J. Moore<\/a><\/strong>. What they don\u2019t know is the kid that plays at Colorado State in the Mountain West Conference has the potential to be just as good as all three.<\/p>\n

In just two seasons with the Rams, Gallup accumulated 2,690 yards, 176 catches, and 21 touchdowns. He did that in just 26 games at Colorado State. This past season he gave the Rams his share of production, catching 100 balls and gaining 1,418 yards and seven touchdowns.\u00a0He had four games with over 100 yards and two games over 200 yards in 2017.\u00a0When you compare the stats to the three guys that many pundits have going ahead of him in the first round, Gallup has a comparable resume. He has more yards, more catches, and more touchdowns than Moore in his three seasons at Maryland. And when you line up his last two seasons to Ridley\u2019s and Sutton\u2019s, he has more catches and yards than both receivers.<\/p>\n

Gallup earned consensus All-American honors this past season with the Rams. He also\u00a0was a finalist for the Fred Biletnikoff Award<\/a>, given to the nation\u2019s best wide receiver. If you look at mock drafts, you\u2019ll see his name being pegged as far as the third round.<\/p>\n
