He’s tough and he loves the competition. He’s only 5’7" but his vj is 39.5" so he plays bigger than his size. His low center of gravity gives him excellent balance for YAC but he isn’t big or powerful enough to break many tackles. He has the fast acceleration of smaller players and the speed to get by CBs. He also has very good hands, vision, coordination and balance. He can play any WR position including boundary despite his stature. He’d be a perfect slot guy imho bc of his ability to run after the catch but TB would have to throw him open. He’s faster than WW.

Good analysis of Gallon from @animedpet.

Taking a closer look at Jemea Thomas in this film via Draft Breakdown. A very Patriots-esque guy, not surprisingly. Versatile – played on the back end, in the slot, returned kicks. Physical, seems to have a good sense of where he is and what his job is. Solid fundamental tackler. Plays bigger than his measured size.
Might take injuries for him to make it to the final 53-man roster, but he’s so versatile he could find himself contributing sooner than later.

Great read on Easley from Alen Dumonjic. Well-written and sums up exactly why I’m so excited to add him to the fold.

Great read from Frenz on a guy who could be the next Danny Woodhead.
Gallon was trusted as a sole split end in loaded personnel for quarterbacks Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner. In the every-down set, he carved a spot as a flanker. He created separation on double-move fades, post routes and dig routes under that capacity. But he was a go-to option on quick-outs and fire screens as well. It was because his reliable hands, vision and suddenness allowed him to turn short plays into long ones. He reinforced those qualities by consistently setting his feet in position for the run after.
Hey Mike. Appreciate your coverage on the Pats. What are your thoughts on Justin Jones? Potential starter? He sounds like a freak (6’8″ with a 37″ vert) which makes a pretty huge catching radius or redzone threat? Especially with Gronk banged up I think he could come in and be a legitimate threat or at least mismatch for other teams? Thoughts?
Yeah, it sounds like the Pats have had their eye on him for a while. Like most tight ends coming out of college he’ll have to develop his blocking, but his size and ability to catch the ball are intriguing.
But we thought the same thing about Zach Sudfeld last year and he didn’t quite live up to some of the plays he made in training camp and the preseason.
Jones will be one to watch this summer.
