Ryan Gilbert brings veteran, high-motor DB production to Columbia
Ryan Gilbert is a proven, physical Columbia defensive back with a long résumé of tackling production and ball disruption, including 196 career tackles, three interceptions, nine pass breakups and three forced fumbles in 33 games for the Lions[5]. He stands out as an all-around defender who has shown reliability, toughness and range in run support and coverage, and NFL scouting notes framed him as a good backup with the potential to develop into a starter[3]. If you want a steady, experienced defensive back who can make open-field stops and create turnovers, he fits the profile.
