Former Colorado State standout wide receiver Michael Gallup will have another opportunity to showcase his skillset for NFL teams at the 2018 NFL Combine. The wide receiver workouts are slated for March 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
NFL Combine Events include the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill and shuttle run, in addition to one-on-one interviews with teams. Select moments from the Combine will be broadcast on NFL Network.
Gallup is coming off a solid showing at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 27. Gallup led the North squad with three receptions for 60 yards. During Senor Bowl practices, Bleacher Report’s lead draft Analyst Matt Miller reported that “Gallup has the burst and body control to be a very good pro receiver right away.”
The Monroe, Ga., native was a consensus All-American and Biletnikoff Award finalist in 2017. He had a school-record 100 receptions for 1,413 yards (14.1) and seven touchdowns in his All-American senior campaign. He ranked fifth among FBS players in receiving yards and third in receptions per game (7.7). Gallup also led the nation in receptions of 10 yards or more (60) and ranked fifth in all scrimmage plays of 10 or more yards.
Gallup is the second CSU receiver to be featured at the Combine in the last two years. Rashard Higgins participated in 2016 before being drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns.
Including Gallup, 12 former Rams will have participated in the NFL Combine in the past five years after going the previous three years without a single representative. For more information on the NFL Combine, visit www.nfl.com/combine.
