Galindo is a reliable open field tackler that has a natural ability to bring down ball carriers with authority. He flies around the field making plays, finishing the year with 88 total tackles and 7 tackles for loss. His ability to pressure quarterbacks and disrupt offensive rhythm make him a key player on this defense as he often is forcing hurried throws and mistakes.
