It's a crap article.
Just throwing new material in the forum.
Fair enough. Seems someone always buys into these things though, so I wasn’t sure.

That said, I am excited to see if Gallimore’s quickness can help him make a mark in the NFL. That’s the element to his game that jumps out when reading about him.

Just like most are with Lamb.
I don’t know if it’s most, but yes, a lot are diving hard and deep onto the Lamb bandwagon.

My approach is more conservative. That’s not to say I dont get excited about players. I do. But many even elite prospects fall short of hopes and expectations, so I’m wary about attributing too much to a player too soon.

It never ceases to amaze me with the stuff sportswriters write in the off season to get clicks and the fans that gobble it up like it's gospel. To proclaim some rookie who has never played a single snap in the NFL to be anything is pushing it. They could say he's done this and that in college, against just college players most of which will never play in the NFL, and could add some help, but to say he in fact is going to do this or that is guess work.

Read and heard the same stuff about Trysten Hill last year. The biggest thing I see with Gallimore is a great first step and then no clue what to do after. Translation: Does Not Finish.

The biggest difference for me is passion and the fact that Gallimore started 14 games his final collegiate year and Hill only started 1. I'd have to hate your guts to not start an NFL-caliber 3Tech in college.

Neville Gallimore has a degree of quickness that's pretty surprising for a big, muscular guy.

It just stands to reason that his first step would be one that's impressive for one of his type.

In addition, he also has the level of strength that makes it difficult for the best of o-linemen.

They are saying the same thing about Gallimore that they've said about Trysten Hill. Hope it's not a repeat of last year, where Gallimore struggles to get on the field like Hill.
If I remember correctly, we only heard great things about Hill until he arrived to camp. Hopefully, Gallimore proves to be different.

My guess is he comes on as an early down rotation piece. Sort of like Woods.

If he can rush the passer that will be a shocker to me. I will be elated if he can control the run to start.

Same with Hill.

At least he won't get any fingers blown off on the Fourth of July like another defensive lineman.

I'm buying into Gallimore based more on the show and display he put on at the Senior Bowl practices vs quality OL draft prospects,.. than what he impressively timed and measured out at the NFL Combine.
Here below are some more reviews and raves on Gallimore that were captured among media types at Senior Bowl practices.

https://BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1/seniorbowl2020practice.php

Oklahoma defensive tackle Neville Gallimore was another player who team evaluators said did well in their eyes on Tuesday. Gallimore is a quick interior rusher who can get upfield and give interior blockers problems in pass protection. Gallimore could be a good fit as a three-technique in a 4-3 defense and has the potential to be a steal on Day 2 during the 2020 NFL Draft.

7 biggest winners from the week of Senior Bowl practices

Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma. Gallimore benefited from Oklahoma's slanting, stemming defensive front that allowed him easier access to gaps and edges, but his production was still somewhat average. Personnel directors and scouts I spoke with worried about his ability to create disruption on his own. This week, Gallimore may have put some of those concerns to rest. He opened the door for teams to view him differently, at minimum. The former Sooner was able to translate his trademark high energy and athleticism into frequent pocket pressure in one-on-one drills. He also helped muddle lanes vs. the run. Gallimore might be a somewhat polarizing prospect, but this was a good week for him.

What we learned from Matt Patricia, NFL scouts and more

From the scouts. As my notebook partner Lance Zierlein mentioned earlier in this piece, Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore helped himself in Mobile this week. "He flashed some pass rush," said an AFC scout. "He's not the biggest guy, but he's pretty quick and several guys had trouble with him." Gallimore weighed in at 304 pounds on Tuesday and measured 6-foot-2. He's one of college football's most freakish athletes, having been clocked by the Sooners at a sub-4.8 40-yard dash, and can squat an amazing 800 pounds. ...

For defensive linemen, Oklahoma’s Neville Gallimore has made quite a bit of noise in all three days of camp. With Javon Kinlaw having left practices for precautionary measures, a strong argument could be made that Gallimore is now the best defensive player down in Mobile currently. He has looked every bit as good as he was on tape, showcasing acceleration off the snap, a high motor and ideal technique for the interior defensive line. Though he's competing with a handful of talented defensive tackles in this class, Gallimore should one of the first ones off the board.

INTERIOR DL

Riser: Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma

Two of my favorite interior defensive linemen this week, Javon Kinlaw and Marlon Davidson, are both now out of the Senior Bowl because of injuries, but their absence has allowed other players to shine, specifically Oklahoma defensive tackle Neville Gallimore. I haven't seen a player capable of blocking Gallimore in the one-on-one pass rush period as his combination of elite quickness, counter moves and natural leverage made him a singular wrecking crew throughout the week of practice. Gallimore is still a little shaky holding his own against double teams in the run game, but he has been truly dominant as a pass rusher, showing the juice and upside of a potential first-round pick.

Houston tackle Josh Jones continued to build on his standout week, bullying Strowbridge on his first rep, literally pinning him to the ground.
The matchup to see though was between Jones and Gallimore – two colossal titans crossing paths. Gallimore won this one though with an impressive bull rush, driving Jones at least five yards backwards.

– I like Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore’s game but he has to get stronger against double-teams. Do see him washed out in the interior too often.

The Ravens could use some more interior pass rushers and Gallimore has looked the part in Mobile. He logged seven sacks over the past two seasons. He's one of the most athletically-gifted defensive linemen in the class, standing in at 6-foot-2, 304 pounds with excellent agility and power.

Stock up: Neville Gallimore, defensive tackle, Oklahoma - There are questions about Gallimore and was his production at Oklahoma from scheme or from him, but he showed he has skills during the week. He was able to generate pressure up the middle, and he was effective against the run

Oklahoma defensive tackle Neville Gallimore was another big standout in defensive line drills this week. Gallimore (who ranks 25th on my Big Board) measured in at 6-foot-2, 304 pounds and showed off incredible explosiveness at the snap, regularly swiping, ripping, or spinning past opposing linemen to get into the pocket.

Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma

Had Javon Kinlaw not stolen the show we all would have been talking about Gallimore. Gallimore showed great burst off the line much like the aforementioned defender but when comparing the two Gallimore doesn’t play with the same strength that Kinlaw possesses.

With that said Gallimore did a great job holding up at the point of attack on run plays and fought hard to maintain his gap responsibilities. Gallimore’s best position will be at 3-Tech in the NFL (if you need to brush up on exactly what that means you can click this link) as he struggled to use his quickness when lined up inside as a 1-Tech. I had a chance to talk with Gallimore after the second day of practice and he seemed like he was genuinely kind, he liked to laugh and he took some very odd questions in stride. As of today it’s hard to project where he may be selected but it wouldn’t be shocking to see this overly athletic behemoth wind up being selected on day one.

Neville Gallimore is singlehandedly the most dominant defensive player the North has.
Watching him come off the field and Javon Kinlaw come on it is going to be just fun come Saturday.

Neville Gallimore isn’t a good run defender, but when he’s asked to rush the passer, he absolutely dominates. He looked quick and powerful in day one at the Senior Bowl, doing away with most linemen in his way.
