Brandon Gibson SELECTED BY: Eagles Round 6 (21)

SI Grade 3.49 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded all-Conference honors the past two seasons. Senior totals included 57/673/2 after 67/1,180/9 as a junior. Sophomore totals included 49/731/4.

POSITIVES: Consistent pass catcher who displays good awareness and a sense of timing. Fluid releasing off the line, effectively uses his frame to shield defenders and comes back to the ball out of breaks. Gets vertical and contorts to make the difficult reception, extending his hands to catch the ball away from his frame. Sells routes, works hard to get separation from defenders, and is reliable catching the ball.

NEGATIVES: Displays minimal speed and not a deep threat. Marginal ability running after the reception. Struggled with knee injuries as a senior, and suffered a hamstring injury in the post-season.

ANALYSIS: Gibson is a reliable pass catcher with a good feel for the game. He possesses no outstanding physical trait to his game, yet he could find a home as a fourth receiver on a roster.
