Kelvin Gilliam

Gilliam projects as a priority undrafted free agent with developmental potential as a rotational defensive lineman at the next level. He offers a physical, effort-based approach to gap control with adequate size (6020, 285 lbs) but limited elite athleticism or production metrics to suggest immediate impact. Teams seeking depth with coaching upside will target him in the UDFA market, though his ceiling appears capped at a reserve/special teams contributor without significant athletic growth.

Gilliam's athletic testing data likely underwhelms (composite grade of 48 suggests limited measurables), which constrains his ability to develop into a consistent sub-package pass rusher. His production at Virginia Tech appears unremarkable relative to competition level, raising questions about whether his tape translates to Power Four caliber or if he was scheme-dependent.
