Overview
Antonio Gibson is a true offensive weapon that can play at running back, receiver, or returner and make an impact on a team. The issue is where to actually play him in the NFL. He has great traits for an RB but is lacking experience.
WR is probably the best option at the next level as Gibson runs good routes and you can scheme plays to get him the ball quickly and let him do damage from there. A team that will use him to the max and in multiple ways is going to really benefit from the traits he brings to the table.
