Don't really want to go into next season with Gibson as the backup though. Use Yeldon to back up Singletary he's there any way . That's where his versatility comes in he could be on ST's as the kick returner while also being the #3 RB, the dude is a weapon something like 4.39 40 yd dash at his size the D would have to bring it all day once this kid got comfy in the scheme OMG !!

He literally has zero experience with pass blocking so he can't play RB. And he has a very limited route tree so he can't play WR. If you get him the ball in open space he's a home run threat but he needs more than that to carve out a role in an NFL offense. Maybe his first year he just acts as a gadget player but then if he's on the field it spoils the play call. What do you mean “he can’t play RB and “he can’t play wr”? Can’t is a word that is often misused. Just as in this case. he can’t start but he can most definitely play both, albeit not a full playbook. Not sure why he can’t be used for 6-10 touches a game.

One of them plays violently, the other one is a RB in a WR body. Show me one good RB EVER who was above 6’2” Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster are the only two above 6 feet who were successful. Derrick Henry is 6'3. I remember Antowain Smith being up around 6'2. Eddie George, Steven Jackson, Brandon Jacobs and Matt Forte were taller and they were pretty good. Those are just off the top of head. Taller RB's may not be ideal. But there have been some good ones.

Estro Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I like him a lot. He has an element to his game that our offense is missing. Take it to the house speed. There was some chatter early on that teams were considering him a RB at the next level, but I have since heard most teams view him as a WR. I think he will be selected in the late 2nd to 3rd round.

Ga boy Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 He’s a north-south blur, and east-west wiggle, not to mention good hands and runs over and past DBs!! Great 4th rounder. Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson is 6'0" and Shenault is 6'1" (I'm assuming that's the "other" guy you're talking about), why are you talking about the lack of 6'2" running backs in the league?

Are you having a make believe argument with yourself? wth does this have to do with Antonio Gibson? Since when is Gibson over 6’2? Regarding the Gibson - shenault comp, gibson is a home run hitter. He gets the ball and runs into the end zone. That is what this team needs. shenault is not a home run hitter. He gets the ball and runs into people and gets tackled Edited April 20, 2020 by NewEra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I deleted my comment. Thought he was listed at 6’2” because that’s the first thing that came up. Not sure why everyone is so enamored with a pass catching RB that hits home runs when we have zero goal line back, but ok. Also seems to be a lot of weird tempers on this thread, so I’m going to back away slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
