How He Fits
Gaddy is one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2017 class. He’s a defensive lineman, but also lines up as a tailback and tight end on offense. And he’s not just one of those linemen they stick on offense to block – he handles the football extremely well at close to 290 pounds. Defensive line is his likely home in college, but his appearances as a skill player on offense simply go to demonstrate his rare athleticism for his size.
