I think Gibbs would be great for our offense and I think Burrow would love him as a pass catch rout of the backfield.
I do worry about his pass protection but hopefully he could improve on that.
He's not the traditional back and doesn't work too well between the tackles, which I want my back to be able to, but it's a different league now, so that shouldn't be a problem. I do remember Burrow talking to Mixon and saying "when we run the ball like that, no one can stop us," so maybe I should reconsider it.
He'd help to make our offense VERY EXPLOSIVE!
I just don't know if he's consistent enough between the tackles.
When he does run between the tackles he simply needs a crease and he is gone. He is not a back that you are drafting to pound the ball and to carry the ball 20 times a game. You are drafting him to touch the ball probably 12 to 15 times a game but in different fashions not just in the backfield. Consider how dynamic Alvin Kamara is which is who Gibbs has been compared to and Kamara ran a 4.56 and Gibbs a 4.36
