The Rams offense frequently employs spread formations and RPOs (Run-Pass Options) to create advantageous matchups and open throwing lanes for the quarterback.
As an undersized receiver with modest speed, Gilyard's Year 1 role projects as a slot receiver and primary return specialist, with a ceiling as a reliable short-to-intermediate target.
A vertical-based Air Raid system that relies heavily on outside receivers winning with speed and leaping ability would significantly diminish his impact.
His potential immediate impact will come on special teams, while his offensive development will hinge on precise route running and reliable hands in the slot.
Selected #99 overall in Round 4 of the 2010 NFL Draft by St. Louis Rams out of Cincinnati.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
