Neville Gallimore is leaving his impression on the scouts at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, putting himself within the top seven performers there according to NFL writer Chase Goodbread.
Goodbread said in an article on NFL.com that scouts he spoke with were initially worried about Gallimore’s ability to create disruption on his own, but after several practices, he has erased some of that doubt.
Neville Gallimore named one of the "Top 7 NFL draft winners from week of practice" at the Senior Bowl.
"Was able to translate his trademark high energy and athleticism into frequent pocket pressure."

While Gallimore might not have the appeal some of the other highly sought after DL prospects do, he’s doing all he can to place himself in conversation with the best in the draft.
“He opened the door for teams to view him differently, at minimum.” Goodbread reported. “The former Sooner was able to translate his trademark high energy and athleticism into frequent pocket pressure in one-on-one drills.”
With Jalen Hurt’s role in the NFL up in the air, Gallimore seems to be increasing his stock with each practice, and could make an unanticipated jump in the draft.
In his final year with Oklahoma, he recorded 17 solo tackles and four sacks.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl will kick off at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 26 in Mobile, Alabama.
