Wayne Gallman, Clemson Tigers, Running Back

Wayne Gallman is currently projected by CBS Sports to be a third- to fourth-round prospect. This writer believes Gallman will draft lower than this projection. Gallman possesses good size, standing at 6-feet-0 and weighing 215 pounds.

Gallman’s best trait is his burst. He uses his burst well to get through running lanes or after making a catch. Gallman is a sure-handed receiver coming out of the backfield. Gallman’s biggest issue is his poor pass protection.

If he does not improve this area, he will have zero chance of going higher than the fourth round.
