Jeremy Gallon

I’m watching the success of Michael Beasley of the Dallas Cowboys. Why can’t Jeremy Gallon be all

I would think that Gallon would be at least as good as Beasley. Gallon is small quick, shifty and great hands.

That’s a very good question. I thought Gallon would be able to latch on somewhere with a team that likes to use those small slot guys. I thought he was in a great situation with the Patriots, except for the fact that they already had guys to fill those roles. Then injuries were a problem.

The one drawback for Gallon, I think, is that he never really showed an ability to return punts. I think sometimes being able to do both of those things (return punts, play in the slot) is what gets a guy on a roster.

If you haven’t seen it already, here’s a fairly well-done documentary about Gallon, including interviews with his family and HS coach. Nice watch.

One of the more surprising disappointments I can remember in a while for Michigan greats playing at the next level. I was sure Gallon would carve out a role as a reliable slot WR.

I think his unorthodox game (he’s not the fast for a little slot guy, his skills are more outside WR than traditional slot) may have worked against him.
