Oh you just keep him. We just elevate the position. Let him walk after next year. Collect a bean, maybe not.

What I love about JG:
-
Does his moves while moving forward. So tough on smaller defensive players.
-
Change of speed is impressive
-
Vision and suddenness
What makes me nervous:
-
There are not smaller defensive players in the NFL
-
Injury possibilities due to his slightness for a RB
I trust our coaches to use him right if we draft him.

Bijan is a good Kamara comp, Gibbs is like a faster Austin Eckler
Gibbs strength is something to question. Echkeler is pound for pound one of the strongest individuals in the entire league. Food for thought.

Ekeler ran about a 4.43 in the 40…….
not sure Gibbs is really faster….
Not sure how 40 times translate but Gibbs was clocked at 22.3 MPH this year - Supposedly that is faster than any NFL player was tracked this year. He does have some jets.

Here is a link about it - Also compares him to Alvin Kamara and Reggie Bush.

I guarantee you he runs faster than 4.43
Bush is a good comp
If the track is like last years he better
If we can get Gibbs at 48 I’m down. He’s said in interviews that the advisory panel told him late first. Obviously the draft community is skeptical of that ultimately being the case.

I think Gibbs is more of a slasher. Like Jamaal Charkes but I don’t think he’s that level of athlete.

Can’t wait to see Gibbs & Keaton Mitchell test. Expecting them to put up some great numbers
Umm… Achane?

If the track is like last year, Indy is going to be silly.
Achane, Palmer, Hyatt, Mitchell, Scott, Gonzales, etc.
Should be quite a few sub 4.3s. Though I somewhat expect a different track bc a lot of folks thought last year skewed a bit towards abdurdity.

Yeah but keeping it fast is how they get more guys to run in Indy. I bet it’s the same. The 40 is the entertainment value part of the combine, it doesn’t actually matter as much to an evaluation, especially now that GPS numbers are available to teams. Maybe the 1st ten split still matters, but otherwise I think it’s all for show.

I think teams are still using the 40 quite a lot. GPS is newer to the industry. Most of the people in the industry are older. Which means they’ll go with what they know, a stop watch 40 time. Change is hard for people
Yeah. It’s also how they get more football degenerates to turn in so it may be an enduring trend.
It just sucks that it throws historical comps way off. Take Jamaal Charles. His best 100m time was 10.18. He ran 4.36. If he’s running on last year’s surface I bet he’s close to a tenth of a second faster.
Ultimately i’m not sure it matters with that kind of guy.

That’s wild, if I hear 100M time of 10.18 I’m thinking a 4.2 something guy
