It’s starting to look like the Washington Redskins drafted not one, but two athletic freaks in the first two days of the 2020 NFL Draft.
While everyone knows what a monster DE Chase Young was, the Redskins turned some heads with their second pick in the draft, taking Memphis RB/WR Antonio Gibson with the No. 66 overall pick in the third round.
Gibson, who primarily plays RB but has the ability to line up outside and in the slot, is built like a stout back but has the quickness of a player that can leave you in the dust. According to Redskins.com’s Kyle Stackpole, some of his combine stats are absolutely jaw-dropping.
Newest #Redskin Antonio Gibson ran the fifth-fastest 40 time among WRs/RBs at the NFL Combine (4.39 seconds).
Those players' average weight is 191.2 pounds. Gibson is listed at 228 pounds. Unique blend of size/speed.

Don’t worry, go ahead and read that stat a second time. I don’t blame you, I had to do the same thing.
Whether it’s his impressive highlight reel or an insane 40-time stat, keep reading whatever it takes to convince you that the Redskins got an absolute game-changer on Friday night. Fall camp can’t get here soon enough.
