This is a bit sad but it also makes perfect sense: Duke cornerback Mark Gilbert will give up the rest of his season and get ready for the 2021 NFL draft.
Gilbert, who made an epic comeback only to have to stop after two games to have foot surgery, won’t be back this season for Duke so there’s really no reason not to start focusing on his future.
Still, as fans it’s sad to see all of his hard work not pay off, at least in the short term. He’s busted his butt to make it back on the field and to only get two games seems kind of cruel.
