Cool stat on Michael Gallup!

[JeffG]

Just found this on Twitter. Not sure the link will work, so if you can't see it here, I will explain it:

According to @PFF_College, Michael Gallup had the lowest red-zone drop rate of any WR in the 2018 draft with a 0.0% of drops! Number two on the list was ... Cedric Wilson with a 7.1% red-zone drop rate!

Courtland Sutton and Calvin Ridley were both at 11.1%.

Out of how many passes? But 0% is good no matter how you look at it.

His QB play was horrible too if you go through his games.

He's going to be a good NFL WR.

He doesn't have elite measurable so I don't know what kind of upside he has. Antonio Brown had average measurables and look how he has performed.

Gallup will be fun to watch.

An absolute steal in the 3rd round

It's a totally fair question. I don't even know how to find that kind of information. But I do know that in the past two seasons, he had 176 receptions and 21 TDs, so there have to be at least a few red-zone opportunities in there somewhere.

Having the #2 guy on that list ain't too shabby either.

Hard not get excited about Gallup. Even with his negatives, it seems that he was under-drafted.

Good comparison.

Keep hearing... "He's a smaller Dez."

Not from what I've seen. Looks more like AB to me.

I think people make the Dez relation because of Gallup’s ability to high point and attack the ball. That aspect of his game does remind me of Dez in a way.

I've seen Pierre Garcon as a comparison.

Gallup is actually bigger then Antonio Brown. Brown is 5'10.


Antonio Brown goes against everything you look for as far as measurables but he's currently the biggest playmaker in the league somehow.

I was just going there with that, brah. Antonio is the top 1 or 2 WR in the league. But I see our new kid, Gallup, doing something similar. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting. And no, not saying Gallup will be the next Brown, just saying we might all be wonderfully surprised.

Calling my shot, other than Conner Williams and Bo Scarborough, he could be the steal of the draft.

Good post Catch!

Being a successful NFL receiver doesn’t always mean you’re the most talented in any aspect.

Most of the time it’s about QB/WR chemistry. Irvin was on his way to being a bust before Aikman and him got chemistry.

Hopefully Gallup and Dak work together tirelessly.

Love the Gallup pick. Not familiar with him myself but I'll be honest I've love everything I've heard from this site as well as scouts about him. But I have a question....when guys talked about who we should pick....his name never came up on this site. Everyone seemed to not want Ridley......it was mostly St. Brown's name, Moore's name, Miller's name, Sutton's name.....Gallup rarely came up. Why is that?

Its so hard to trust these reports on these guys because I've seen every single guy we've drafted listed at different heights. I've seen Gallup listed from 6'0 to 6'2.

From his highlights I do get more AB than I do Dez but I see some Dez as far as the jump balls and the hard to take down aspect.

Kind of excited that we have potentially a guy who will learn with Dak and are around the same age.

Remember he is a rookie please do not expect him to be all pro immediately SMH....

interesting....wonder if we are more focused on having recievers with great hands....

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

A lot of people compare him to Hines Ward. I actually think he's more like Jimmy Smith but either way, I think you guys are going to really like this kid. Just saying.

I think Gallup and Wilson were both hiding in plain sight. From a size/speed standpoint, they are very much in the Cowboys WR template. A lot of these WR's like Ridley, Kirk, Miller, and Kirk were probably a little small for the Cowboys taste. The internet scouts were more in love with St. Brown than the NFL.

Yeah online and what actually happened is very odd on St. Brown. I saw him in mock drafts as high as the 2nd round. No lower than the 3rd or 4th round. During the draft people stated they don't know if he wants to play football.

Interesting as well. I wonder what the rankings look like from last year because they had Juju rather low.
