Long, disruptive Colorado linebacker with proven backfield production
Gilbert stood out at Colorado as a high-motor edge linebacker who consistently created negative plays, including a career-best 47 tackles, six sacks, and eight tackles for loss in one season, while also leading the nation with five forced fumbles at one point in 2016. His 6-5, 230-pound frame gave him unusual length for a linebacker, helping him win with reach, timing, and disruption rather than pure bulk. For a team, he projects as a pressure-first defender whose value is tied to energy, splash plays, and turnover creation.
