6. Wayne Gallman, Clemson (6-1, 215) — Film Grade: 79.0

Quick Take: Gallman is a balanced runner who does everything at the position well. He may not have the high ceiling of the other top backs in this class, but his game is already so polished coming out of college. He should find an immediate role in an NFL offense. With good vision and burst, Gallman can make defenses pay both between and outside the tackles. Add in the fact he’s a high-character guy with a good work ethic from a winning program, and Gallman is a coach’s dream at the running back position.

Traits: 1. Athletic Ability (8/10)  2. Speed (8/10)  3. Power (7/10)  4. Burst (8/10)  5. Vision (8/10)  6. Impact/Production (8/10)  7. Yards After Contact (7/10)  8. Route Running (4/5)  9. Hands (4/5)  10. Pass Protection (4/5)  11. Ball Security (9/10)  12. Toughness/Physicality (4/5)
