As I’ve written before, Galbreath shined at his pro day, putting up numbers that were, in many cases, better than the best combine

participants. That athletic makeup has helped the undrafted rookie from South Dakota become a weapon in the passing game in unpadded and low-contact situations. He also has the versatility to do many things Smith asks from his tight ends. “In college, I lined up all over the offense — No. 1, 2, 3 receiver. In-line. Off-line.

That makes one-on-one blocking drills an early measuring stick. “I’m hoping to surprise some people with the willingness and that aggressiveness in the blocking game,” Galbreath said. “Technique is always going to be a big part of that, but I’m working on it just as everybody else is working (on something).”
