Many scouts project Gibbs as an above-average kickoff returner in the NFL. While he averaged 19.8 yards a return for Alabama, he had a 25.6 average in each of his two seasons with Georgia Tech.
Gibbs measured 5-foot-9 and 199 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine along with a 30 ½-inch arm and 9 ¼-inch hand. He was timed at 4.36 seconds in the 40-yard dash, 1.52 seconds in the 10-yard split and posted a 33 ½-inch vertical jump.
What the Experts Think of Gibbs
Gibbs is considered the consensus second-best running back available in the draft after Texas’ Bijon Robinson.
The Athletic ranks Gibbs as the draft’s 20th-best prospect overall. ESPN has him at #34, NFL.com at #40 and Pro Football Focus at #50.
All four outlets project Gibbs being selected in the second round. PFF is the most bullish on Gibbs as it predicts he will go 34th overall to the Arizona Cardinals.
ESPN projects Gibbs being chosen by the Detroit Lions at #55. The Athletic predicts the Buffalo Bills taking him at #60. PFF has Gibbs being the last player picked in the second round by the Kansas City Chiefs at #63.

Who Needs a Running Back in the NFL Draft?
The Chargers and Cowboys are the favorites to land Gibbs, and he would be a good fit in either team’s backfield.
Gibbs has a similar skill set to that of the Chargers’ Austin Ekeler, who has demanded a trade. The Cowboys could use Gibbs as a change-of-pace back to team with Tony Pollard following the release of Ezekiel Elliott.
A case can also be made for the Cardinals, Lions, Bills and Chiefs to pick Gibbs along with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the best value play is the Los Angeles Rams.
Cam Akers went from being a healthy scratch in back-to-back games in October last season because of effort to rushing for 118, 123 and 104 yards in the Rams’ final three games. Los Angeles’ backfield depth is shaky beyond Akers, though, and Gibbs would be perfect for the Rams to break into the NFL as a RB2.
