Do any of yall know how he has done in practice this year? It seems that he has been passed up by Ronald Martin on the depth chart.

I think it's ok if he develops slowly and eventually becomes a good player in the end, as long as he develops. He could go the Chris Hawkins route and develop towards the end of this career. Hawkins is in the NFL now.

If he gets significant playing time outside of special teams, it'll be a surprise. I haven't seen any effort by the coaches to get him to the field. I haven't heard any rumors about him being a top competitor in practice. On the other hand, Reid, Loston, and Martin have seen time at S.

There's also the possibility that a young corner emerges to justify Mathieu moving to S. Another possibility is that Landon Collins comes in as a true frosh and lives up to the hype.

Lots of scenarios seem more likely at this point than Sam Gibson earning PT.

someone was on here a few wks back saying the coaches were possibly moving Gibson to CB. I was surprised to hear that and wondered if they were talking about the wrong guy, but never got a response.

Depends on how hard he works for a spot. Bennie Logan blew up this year, probably because he worked for it.

I think he should move to linebacker, but it's not easier and in some ways it's harder because you have to react quicker

Gibson looked good in the spring game at safety. Didn't he intercept a pass?
