From what I have seen, Sam Gibson has good size. He is a hard, strong runner with power. He will readily take on contact. He is explosive, with very quick acceleration; he gets up to top gear in just a few steps. His top end speed is not great, but good. He played QB so he must have good hands. Moreover, he played primarily out of the shotgun; the coaches trusted him with the ball. One criticism is that if he is not at top speed, he appears to be a little sluggish when moving laterally. If he is running downfield at top speed, he can cut on a dime and make people miss; but if he is just beginning to get his feet moving and he is going lateral, he appears slower. This may be an issue if he plays S. When he is anticipating then makes a break, can he move quickly enough to the sidelines to help out the CB? I'm not saying he won't, its just an area that I would want to see how he would perform in practice. The previous comment about his hips not being very fluid is an accurate one. He has size, speed, acceleration, and appears to have good hands. So yea, I think he could be a WR.
