2018 NFL Combine: 6 Players With the Most to Gain

Michael Gallup, WR, Colorado State

A strong combine from Gallup is going to earn the Biletnikoff Award finalist a lot more believers and could vault him near the top of a very thin wide receiver class. At the Senior Bowl, Gallup stood 6' 0" and weighed 198 pounds with arm and hand measurements that compare favorably to NFL receivers built like Nelson Agholor and Jeremy Maclin, per PlayerProfiler.

During his two seasons at Colorado State, Gallup made easy work of the Mountain West Conference, scoring a total of 21 touchdowns in 26 career games. And his share of the team's receptions, yards, and touchdowns are all extremely strong. An ongoing project by Peter Howard illuminates it perfectly.

Among the 42 draft-eligible wide receivers currently in his sample, Gallup's best season of receptions market share (35.2 percent) is third in the class. His best share of receiving yards (40.1 percent) ranks sixth.

Despite having requisite size and impressive production, draft analysts have Gallup rated all over the place, not uncommon for small-school players. Perhaps most eye opening was Pro Football Focus (PFF) grading Gallup as their top wide receiver among this entire class.

Some strong flashes of athleticism at the combine could instantly make Gallup with one of the most compelling prospects at wideout.
