'Why Antonio Gibson?'

Being deployed at both receiver & running back during his Junior season at Memphis gives Gibson an intriguing ceiling as a playmaker.

But, what is his appeal besides impressive surface level traits?

Enjoy!

'Through contact skill set'

We talk about the contact types:

(high - low - direct - indirect)


Gibson is adept at creating solutions through various avenues of contact, and regularly stays on balance through simultaneous collision periods.

'Short area instincts'

His instincts were touched on above, and are an underrated element to Gibson’s overarching skill set as a player.


Gibson is consistent at rapidly diagnosing problems, and is able to find physical solutions with a blend of quickness & power.

'Skill set as a receiver'

(Gibson is at the bottom of the screen)


Yes, this is fantastic catch by Damonte Coxie, but watch how Gibson gets himself open here and the reaction from the defensive back.

Gibson may prove difficult for slot corners and linebackers to handle.

'Play speed'

His speed shows up on deeper patterns, and is an area where he may be frequently deployed.

Something you also can’t downplay is the experience he has as a field-stretcher and the ease in which he can create separation.
