On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by Matt Taylor, the radio voice of the Indianapolis Colts, to discuss the newest Chicago Bears defensive lineman, Neville Gallimore. Last season was Gallimore’s first in Indy, and he was asked to step in for an injured DeForest Buckner, which led to a career year.
He just turned 29, but there’s not a lot of mileage on him, as last year was the most he’s played with 467 snaps.
“He’s a really good player,” Matt said. “He’s, I think, a starter-level
caliber type of a guy based on what I saw last year with the Colts and then the year before that when he was with the Rams. So that’s a pretty good value in terms of bang for your buck and what the Bears are getting for a player who I think still has a lot of upside.”
While Neville played mostly nose tackle early in his career, the Colts had him at the three technique in place of Buckner, and his athleticism impressed Matt.
“He just gave maximum relentless effort,” he said about Gallimore. “I can think back to games late in the year where quarterbacks are flushed out of the pocket, and Gallimore is just chasing these guys down in pursuit. He’s coming in from the backside, just relentless, maximum effort, trying to make a play and chase down an athletic quarterback.”
Give Taylor’s show a listen in either of the embeds below, and give us your thoughts on how Gallimore will fit in with the 2026 Bears.
