What draft expert had to say about Monroe’s Michael Gallup

Updated Feb 27, 2018

Colorado State wide receiver Michael Gallup, of Monroe, is part of a deep and talented wide receiver group that will participate in the NFL scouting combine. The NFL draft audition starts today and runs through Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

“Gallup right now when you look at the receivers, he’s the 10th-highest rated receiver,” ESPN draft analyst Kiper said. “That projects him into the third round.”

Gallup, who followed head coach Mike Bobo to Colorado State, had a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.

“I think at worst he’s a three or a four (wide receiver),” Kiper said. “He could be a two. But he’s certainly has helped himself. If he has a good combine, the second round is not out of the realm of possibility.”

Gallup is the fourth rated wide receiver in the draft according to NFLDraftScout.com.
