Since having an impressive rookie preseason in 2019, we haven’t heard that much about linebacker Ulysees Gilbert III, a sixth-round pick out of Akron. Drafted for his elite speed, that initial impression left many fans with high hopes, but he’s spent more time on the Reserve/Injured List the past two seasons than on the field.
After spending the back half of his rookie season laid up on the reserve list, Gilbert spent two separate stints sidelined last season, all three times for a recurring back injury. Needless to say, it is a topic of conversation surrounding him entering year three.
