With someone like Uche, speed was the first club in his bag - his speed was his Driver. With Gillotte it's something of a 7 iron.
I'll take what I can get there. Honestly, I kinda feel like that was the plan for FAU but the get-off has just never come along like it should. If Gillotte plays out like we hope, it'll be because he became the guy we thought FAU would.

Yeah if you want the speed guys Spags isn’t for you bc those guys are smaller and Spags just doesn’t like those guys. Gillotte is extremely athletic for a 264 lb player though.
Among DE’s at the combine he was 5th in the 40, 4th best 10 split, 3rd best 20 shuttle and tied for the best 3 cone.
Gillotte legitimately has the athleticism of a smaller edge rusher O.City wants. He was right there with the top guys in all of the agility tests but the 40, which is a bit redundant for a DE bc they will rarely run 40 yards downfield, if at all.
That’s why I think his ceiling is higher than George’s. It showed on tape too. Yeesh.
And yeah. Felix better be ready day 1 of camp bc this kid is coming for his job. Not sure he’s gonna be able to fend this kid off. He’s exactly what they wanted Felix to become.
