This is Marcus Gilchrist’s fourth NFL stop and his third in three seasons. But over the past five seasons, he has managed to find himself in the starting lineup every season. First for the Chargers, then the Jets, then last season for the Texans.
Helping him greatly has been his versatility. He has played and started at every defensive back spot. He started at corner and strong safety for the Chargers, free safety and strong safety for the Jets, and strong safety for the Texans. And in each instance, he was also looked upon as a nickel back.
