National Football League Career

Pittsburgh Steelers

He was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. On May 31, 2005, Gibson signed a three-year, $1.221 million contract with the Steelers, which included a signing bonus of $296,000 and a yearly salary of $230,000 in 2005-06, $310,000 in 2006-07, and $385,000 in 2007-08.[4] Receivers coach Bruce Arians thought Gibson "had great upside", and that "has the height, the speed, and the ability to go long.[4]" He was cut by the Steelers on September 3, 2005 and was signed to the Dolphins practice squad Miami Dolphins' practice squad two days later.[5]

Miami Dolphins

Gibson remained with the Dolphins' practice squad during the 2005-06 season. He was waived by the team during final roster cuts prior to the 2006-07 season. On September 3, 2006, once Gibson cleared waivers, he was reassigned to the Dolphins' practice squad.[5]

Atlanta Falcons

After his Dolphins' practice squad contract expired on January 8, 2007, he was signed by the Atlanta Falcons on February 17, 2007.[5] Gibson was cut three days into training camp after missing a mandatory spring meeting and for other unspecified reasons.[6]

St Louis Rams

Gibson signed with the St. Louis Rams on August 6, 2007, and was released by the team on August 31, 2007.[5]

New York Giants

Shortly after being released from the Rams, Gibson signed a practice squad contract with the New York Giants on September 3, 2007. He was released five days later[5]

NBA D-League

In 2008, Gibson was selected in the tenth round (147th pick overall) of the NBA Development League draft by the Albuquerque Thunderbirds.[7] In 45 games with the Thunderbirds, Gibson averaged 7.3 points per game and 1.2 blocks per game. Gibson left the team in March, and signed with the Austin Toros in April. Gibson played three games with the Toros and was held scoreless.[1]

Gibson was invited back to the Toros for the 2009-10 NBA-D season, but was released before the season started.
