With the No. 208 overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected offensive lineman Andy Gallik of Boston College. Gallik is a four-year starter who has over 40 starts at the center position, and was named a first-team All-ACC player in 2013.

Gallik’s best year was his last, but he also managed third-team All-ACC honors in 2013, starting all 13 games at center. He was named one of six Rimington Trophy finalists in 2014 for his play. Gallik’s best fit is in a power running scheme -- he’s a noted mauler with a ton of power in his upper body.
Gallik’s biggest weaknesses are all things that can be coached up -- he’s not necessarily an agile player, but there’s always a need for big, strong centers. He’s better against the run than against the pass, but it’s not necessarily a weakness.
At the NFL Scouting Combine in February, Gallik ran a 5.50-second 40-yard dash, 7.66-second 3-cone drill and 4.58-second 20-yard shuttle. He also had a vertical leap of 27 inches, broad jump of 96 inches and put up 29 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press.
