Jahmyr Gibbs Hype Thread

[alagold]

The other LARGE factor not being mentioned is the OFFENSIVE LINE.If we don't have a big improvement over last yr ,all this hype for great running back success is a hope and dream. We probably will be better but we did just lose our best OL and injuries can kill more improvement.

Wiltfong: Georgia Tech freshman RB Jahmyr Gibbs turning heads

“Jahmyr Gibbs is better than even I thought,” said a source on campus. “Has a chance to be top back in country by time he’s done.”

He showed it in high school as well

What’s the bigger jump, high school to college or college to pro?

That is a great question. I will not pretend to know, but it may be different for different guys and positions. A lot of guys at 17-18 are physically just not strong enough yet to play big boy college football, where they might be "strong" enough or big enough at 21-22 to play NFL, but not have the other required items, such as speed, agility, accuracy, acumen, etc. So, very interested in what answers you get on this question.

College to pro, without question

I honestly don’t recall hearing hype anything like this about a GT freshman offensive player since Calvin

I was skeptical about Calvin as well, until I saw him play. When I hear hype, I want to believe, but I wait until I see.

The jump from high school to college is pretty much the same from college to pro. It’s completely eye opening how much faster the game is at each level

Not disagreeing w/ you, but when we signed Gibbs my thought was that he has the perfect skill set for a spread team with an OL in rebuild mode. He’s so adept at setting up defenders in space, and he’s likely to encounter a fair amount of free defenders this year.

Aside from QB, I’m gonna be drooling to see what this kid can do.
