physical Missouri safety with NFL-caliber special-teams value
Gillespie was a four-year Missouri starter whose appeal is built on size, physicality, and special-teams toughness more than eye-popping box-score production; the Raiders noted he played 41 games for the Tigers before becoming a 2021 fourth-round pick. He’s the kind of safety teams trust for downhill tackling, run support, and kickoff coverage, and he’s continued to earn NFL opportunities, which suggests coaches value his effort and reliability. If your team needs a hard-hitting, role-ready defensive back rather than a pure ballhawk, he fits that mold well.
