Gibbs comparison= Charles

I’m no expert. However I think Jamaal Charles is a great comparison. Both can fly. Both catch the ball very well. Both underrated in my opinion. Gibbs is 5 foot 11 194 in HS. Charles listed at 5 foot 11 199. Charles averaged 5.4 YPA overall and about 6 in his prime. I like this guys long term prospects more than others(cough Evans).

Now this is a great comparison.
Everyone on here always wants to compare him to Alvin kamara.
It seems that most posters can only pull from current/former Saints or LSU guys when making player comparisons. The amount of DBs that get compared to Tyrann Mathieu is ridiculous.
I do see some of AK41 in Gibbs. They both have elite balance and excel at making defenders whiff in a phone booth. They are both effortless, pure runners.
However, I think kamara is a much more physical and powerful runner than Gibbs (or jamaal for that matter). Kamara is way better at running between the tackles than he gets credit for. Perhaps it’s because he’s so good on the perimeter. But once Kamara gets to the edge or into the secondary, it’s his strength that makes him so hard to bring down. Not sure if Gibbs is as powerful.
Anyway, appreciate your football knowledge brother

Well Kamara isn’t an 18 year old kid anymore

Well of course Gibbs will put on some pounds as he matures physically, but his build is slighter than kamara’s. He’s got a smaller frame.
It doesn’t matter. Top notch runners come in all sizes.

Gibbs is a burner that gets north south quickly and gets to his top speed extremely fast.
Jamal Charles is a great comp

We really shouldn’t get that excited about this kid. Good that we are at least getting him on campus

You’re right, not a good thing when we have to fight just to get him here to visit.

Gibbs has good speed but not many have Jamaal Charles speed. Charles was on another level.

Charles was one of the fastest RBs ever.

So basically he plays like any shifty RB with dreads got it.
