Antonio Gibson named to PFF All-Rookie offensive team midway through season

If you were looking for proof that Washington running back Antonio Gibson has had a stellar start to his career, look no further than the fact that he has surpassed all rookie RBs to be named the first-team RB by Pro Football Focus.

So far this year, Gibson has 573 total yards with five touchdowns, and he’s quickly taken over as the lead back in Washington. At the midway point of the season, Gibson is tied with James Robinson for most touchdowns, and leads players like Clyde Edwards-Helaire (2), and DeAndre Swift (4).

Going forward, it’s clear that Washington fans can feel good that they finally might have found the feature back that has been missing from the offense for so long. For a while, it seemed that Derrius Guice might take on that role, but for a number of reasons, he never could get the job done. Now it’s Gibson’s place, and he sure is fun to watch.
