Interesting read: Robert Gallery's (Iowa lineman) NFL Draft Journal

[vi edit]

My wife found this on ESPN -

He's a very modest guy. Especially refreshing considering he's one of the top draft choices this year. Hopefully some of his small town modesty rubs off on his future teammates.

I like his tone and hope he keeps it in the NFL

I've been reading it for a while now. Hope he lands on the Giants.

wow, very cool...and pretty well spoken too, I wonder if that was edited at all. But yeah, he seems like a genuinely nice guy...but with all the money they throw at newbs these days, you can only wonder what'll happen.

I wonder when the last time a O-Lineman was considered in the top 3? I've never watched this guy play (other than the bowl game) but I hear everyone talking about how awesome he is. He must be a freak of nature to be getting this much hype, but I guess a good tackle is worth every penny. Originally being from Iowa, I would love to see this guy go #2 after Manning (or #1 before Manning).

That's just the nature of being OL. They are the backbone of your offense and a good line is the single most important factor in having a strong offense. It's not a QB, it's not a RB. It's being able to protect those guys or make holes for them. OL'men don't get any pride or glory

As for Gallery, he's just a machine. Incredibly fast and strong as a bull. It's entertaining watch him rush out and pancake LB's.
