Gibbs is not Faulk. But Faulk was 206 lbs and ran a 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. Austin Ekeler was 5 ft 8+5⁄8 and 198 lb at the combine. Darren Sproles 5 ft 6+1⁄8 in and 187 lb at the combine and he ran a 4.46. Eric Metcalf had a nice career. Parcells was pizzed when the NYG drafted 5'7" 190 lb Dave Meggett but Parcells later brought him with him to the Jets. Bary Sanders was 5."9. MJD is another back who not built like Earl
Campbell. These players all demonstrated toughness and durability. If Gibbs has those traits as well maybe a 2nd pick would be well spent on him. I expect Gibbs will be gone before 36.
There have been great backs in many forms. If Gibbs is special we want him.
It would be great to add a young playmaker who can create to the Rams offense.
