“Yeah, the pressures. Sometimes the sack numbers, I think, can be a little misleading, so hurry rate, pressure rate, you can feel them when you watch the tape, just the activity.” said Bradway, “Then, I’ll tell you one more thing about him (Ashton Gillotte), he dropped a little weight this spring and his Pro Day was probably one of the better Pro Days we saw all spring. The explosiveness, athleticism (and) movement was like a linebacker, so that kind of sold us on just what kind of physical talent he had.”
The ex-Louisville star is already linked to the present Chiefs’ defensive end, George Karlaftis. Pairing both pass rushers with Chris Jones and Charles Omenihu might create a unique strategy for blitzing coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Gillotte played four seasons at Louisville, participating in 51 games and accumulating 131 tackles (73 solo), 40.5 tackles for loss, 26.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.
