In fact, as NBC Sports' Phil Perry pointed out, Gibson is one of the most efficient ball carriers in the league so far. "Antonio Gibson's start to the season, per @NextGenStats...Among RBs with at least 25 carries 1st in rush yards after contact per carry 3rd in rush yards over expected per carry 10th in yards per carry 10th in EPA/carry." This highlights Gibson's significant impact on the team's performance, serving efficiently as a complementary option to Rhamondre Stevenson.
Gibson was the first free agent signed by the Patriots in the legal tampering period. He joined the club via a three-year, $11.25 million contract that stands as a reflection of what the team believes he can offer: a productive complementary option alongside Rhamondre Stevenson.
His production as a running back in particular has looked promising, though. Gibson has carried the football 29 times for 155 yards to result in a healthy average of 5.3 yards per carry.
Gibson ranking in the top 10 in those categories is a definitive positive for a Patriots offense that has left a lot to be desired through four games as a whole.
