Laurence Gibson is an impressive athlete who turned heads at the combine. He has eye-popping length and the body of an NFL tackle. His quickness off the snap is good moving both upfield and laterally. He's a high-instinct blocker and won't get fooled by defensive schemes such as twists, stunts and delays. He can work through combinations and does a good job processing assignments and carrying them out. He has a frame that could add strength.
WEAKNESSES
Gibson has struggled with his weight and added over 20 pounds to his frame before the 2014 season. The added weight has caused stiffness and heavy feet at times, especially when he's asked to kick-slide. He still lacks strength and needs to focus more on power and not as much on pounds. He's not patient as a pass protector and will get caught reaching and lunging in space. His hands have to become more accurate, and he needs to learn to sink his hips and straighten his back in pass protection.
FINAL GRADE: 4.75/9.00 (Priority Free Agent)
