The Overview:
The best situation for Gilbert is to go to a team that runs man coverage and allows him to play over the top and allows him to gamble... He certainly has the ability to turn and run with receivers and that might be his best situation as it makes it harder for him to gamble and put himself in bad positions trying to create plays... Gilbert can also provide a benefit on special teams potentially as a kick returner but his biggest value is on coverage teams. He should able to contribute in that capacity immediately.
