2020 NFL Draft Watchlist: Under-the-radar edge rushers
By Seth Steere
Tipa Galeai, Utah State
Galeai is a name that has fallen to the wayside after leaving TCU, but a name that should not be forgotten. TCU is known for their ability to recruit and produce freak athletes and Galeai absolutely fits that mold.
Galeai left TCU after his sophomore season in 2017 because of an assault charge. While at Utah State he has yet to have any issues arise, which will only help his draft stock.
His talent on the field speaks to why TCU recruited him in the first place. Coming from a similar archetype as Brian Burns, Galeai has both elite length and speed off the edge, making him nearly impossible to block coming off the edge.
Galeai finished last season tied at 10th with 10.5 sacks. Most above him on the list left last season; either graduating or advancing to a career in the NFL. The opportunity for Galeai to lead the country in sacks is there, which will only raise his draft stock.
