It was fast for me and I wasn\u2019t there yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, the Colorado State alum stated that he still has much \u201cfire\u201d in him for the game of football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of meat on that bone, I\u2019ve got a lot of fire up in me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Michael Gallup Never Recovered From Injuries Suffered In Dallas<\/h2>\n<p>Michael Gallup\u2019s career will always be remembered as what could have been, with the former third round pick excelling in years two, three and four before suffering a torn ACL at the end of the 2021 season.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Gallup was unable to crack the 500 receiving yards barrier, putting up 424 and 418 receiving yards in 2022 and 2023 before being ultimately released last March.<\/p>\n<p>The irony, of course, is that the one thing\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0could now truly use is a Gallup-esque field stretcher, with the current options behind All-Pro,\u00a0CeeDee Lamb, not looking particularly thrilling to Dallas fans.<\/p>\n<h2>What Impact Can Gallup Make In Washington?<\/h2>\n<p>Now in DC, Gallup joins a receiver room that had already made some renovations this offseason in the form of All-Pro,\u00a0Deebo Samuel, who was acquired from the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers earlier this month in exchange for a fifth round pick in this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n<p>And with Gallup, Samuel and #1 receiver,\u00a0Terry McLaurin, the Commanders have a trio of receivers with very different, but complementary skill-sets.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel adds positional versatility and yards-after-catch prowess, McLaurin is one of the better all-around possession receivers in the league, and Gallup adds that all important vertical presence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-5 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"CIuU6cnYmowDFaTxTAIdc54IoA\">\n<p>For a team whose receiving corps was a big question coming into 2025, Gallup could well be that final piece on Commanders franchise whose eyes will be focused on a Super Bowl run \u2013 that is, if he can finally return to something resembling his best form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite widespread pessimism from the media, the Dallas Cowboys\u2018 roster is actually in pretty good shape.
