Neville Gallimore

2020 · Round 3 · Pick 82 · DL · Dallas Cowboys

Neville Gallimore was born in Ottawa, Ontario, to parents from Jamaica. He moved from St. Patrick's High School to Canada Prep Academy in St. Catharines, and in 2015 he became the first Canadian-born player invited to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, though a knee injury kept him from playing. He picked Oklahoma from 30 offers. Over four seasons he made 148 tackles (18 for loss), nine sacks and five forced fumbles, and he played in three College Football Playoffs. He was second-team All-Big 12 in 2019. Dallas drafted him in the third round, 82nd overall, in 2020; the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders also took him in the eighth round that year. After four years with the Cowboys he played for Miami, the Rams and Indianapolis. He joined Chicago in 2026 and is active there. His career totals are 147 tackles and 7.5 sacks. The Oklahoma Daily wrote on October 24, 2019: "His football journey started in his hometown of Ottawa, Ontario, progressed to St.Catharines, Ontario, is now in Norman and will soon be in an NFL city."
