2017 NFL Draft: Top 50 Prospects Halfway through Season

Running back is the position I feel the most confident scouting. While I couldn’t tell you where other scouts have Clemson running back Wayne Gallman, I believe that this kid is the real deal.

Gallman isn’t the fastest or most athletic running back in this draft class. What he does have, however, is excellent vision. Gallman is decisive enough to consistently pick up positive yardage while fighting through contact for those extra yards. Easily the most exciting thing that jumps out on tape with Gallman is his elite jump cut, which he uses to make defenders whiff at the line of scrimmage.

Scouts are going to fall in love with Gallman because of his willingness to block in pass protection. Here’s a great example of how effective he is as a pass blocker.

The Clemson running back is going to naturally be overlooked in this draft class that’s loaded with players at the position. However, whoever ends up picking Gallman could wind up with one of the biggest steals of the draft.
