Bruce Gaston DL Purdue

[RS12]

Additional results for defensive tackle Bruce Gaston include 34 reps on the bench, 34.5-inch vertical jump, 9-1 broad and 4.55s in the short shuttle. Scouts continue to wonder why he so badly underachieved in 2013.

Defensive tackle Bruce Gaston ran reasonably well, getting under 5-seconds (4.98s) on a number of watches. That said I'm told scouts killed Gaston because of his weak senior season, one which never came close to meeting expectations. Entering the season with a sixth-round grade, Gaston was a non-invite to the combine and it'd be a surprise if he gets drafted.

It's not too surprising that he was not productive when you watch how they used him in their scheme. They seem to be a 3-4 team but often line up similar to a 4-3 but with the DE opposite of Gaston in a 2 point stance. This often put Gaston out wide like a 4-3 DE, especially on passing downs which is not where he should be playing considering that he is 6-2, 316.

Offensives didn't appear to be very concerned about the other DLinemen and schemed to minimize Gaston's effect.

This.

Look at film from 2012 when he was playing in a 4-3.
