[2][3] Gallery was the Hawkeyes' punter for all four years he was at the school, with 179 punts in 45 games and a 44.5 yards-per-punt average.

This earned what the New York Daily News termed "an evil stare" from coach Bill Parcells, and the strong field position led to a 49ers touchdown.

It would be Gallery's only game in the NFL, as the Jets hurriedly re-signed Hansen and the rookie was released.

He did not return to Frankfurt in 2001, but was selected in the 2001 XFL draft by the Las Vegas Outlaws.

Nick's younger brother Robert Gallery, after starring as a tackle in Iowa, was drafted second overall in 2004 and played seven seasons for the Oakland Raiders, plus one for the Seattle Seahawks.
