Other than Eason, arguably the most important inclusion here. All indications are that Gaillard (R-Junior) will take over the duties of Center in 2017. If you are reading this, the assumption is you know how important that position is to the success of a given team.

Gaillard’s story is an impressive one. A highly touted and recruited Defensive Lineman in 2014 coming out of North Carolina, Gaillard made the switch to Offensive Line due to depth issues early in his career and never looked back. A little undersized at 6-2, 301, Gaillard makes up for it with a nasty streak and great technique. By all accounts, he is an incredible athlete. Those skills will be needed as he joins forces with Eason, and “quarterbacks” the Offensive Line in 2017.
