Scouting Report: Strengths
- A technician with a high motor, Gillotte has a variety of moves and displays exceptionally good hand use. Gillotte shows a strong finishing burst and has the power to hold at the point of attack as a run defender.
- His hand use is excellent; he’s strong in the upper body and consistently swats away blockers.
- Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #58. He wrote "The 6-2 Gillotte has added a dozen pounds or so and is now up to 276 but still has hit 19.9 mph on the GPS and vertical-jumped 36 inches. He power-cleans 390, but strength coach Ben Sowders said he could probably do 405. “He’s so explosive.”"
- He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
- Average quickness and power and his bull rush will be stonewalled. Comes off the snap high, losing leverage.
- He wins with all-out hustle, second and third effort and will contribute in the NFL.
- Gillotte shows impressive burst and enough quickness to occasionally threaten the edge as a pass rusher.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Gillotte lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. He lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- He’s very much a work in progress with his hand in the dirt. He doesn’t play with ideal physicality, often failing to set the edge as a run defender.
- Gillotte has to develop a counter move or two in the pass rush, and Gillotte needs to make better use of his hands.
