Neville Gallimore 2020 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Oklahoma Sooners football program has recruited and developed All-American defensive tackles that transition well to the NFL and may well include Neville Gallimore<\/strong><\/a>. Gerald McCoy<\/a><\/strong> (2006 to 2009) and Tommie Harris<\/a><\/strong> (2001 to 2003) are two examples of the program\u2019s development of top-tier interior defensive linemen. Neville Gallimore is the next Sooners defensive tackle to transition into the NFL after a stellar four-year career at Oklahoma. In his senior season, Gallimore was named as a second-team All-Big 12 selection and a third-team AP All-American. While his production in total tackles decreased from his junior year to his senior year from 50 to 29, he increased his efficiency as an interior pass rusher. This past season, Gallimore accounted for 6.5 tackles for loss and four sacks. He did this while playing more snaps at the one-technique tackle as opposed to a player like McCoy, who plays closer to the edge.<\/p>\n

Gallimore is in a 2020 NFL Draft class that is stocked with talented and distinctive defensive tackles. Auburn\u2019s Derrick Brown<\/a><\/strong> (one-technique) and South Carolina\u2019s Javon Kinlaw<\/a><\/strong> (three-technique) are among those top-tier prospects in the draft. Gallimore has already done well in the 2020 Senior Bowl and the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine to put his name in the first-round discussion come April 23rd<\/sup>. In the combine, Gallimore ran a 4.79-second time in the 40-yard dash, which is tied for seventh-fastest among all defensive linemen. Gallimore and Nebraska\u2019s Khalil Davis<\/a><\/strong> are the first defensive linemen to run a 4.8-second time at over 300 pounds for the first time since 2006. Gallimore is a player whose stock has been rising ever since he finished his career at Oklahoma. While he is not a stats builder, he can be a player who can impact his selected team immediately on every play.<\/p>\n
