Wallace Gilberry ready to reinvent himself

Wallace Gilberry, Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson terrorized opposing QBs when all three were on the field.

For three straight offseasons, Wallace Gilberry has prepared for a new role within the Bengals' defense.

In 2013, Gilberry was entering just his first full year in Cincinnati after joining the team three games into the 2012 season. His role was simply as a situational pass-rusher who gave Michael Johnson and/or Carlos Dunlap a breather while also occasionally lining up at defensive tackle on obvious passing downs. That was a role Gilberry thrived in while racking up 15 sacks over his first 31 games with the Bengals.
