Former Northwestern defensive end Deonte Gibson has reportedly agreed to sign with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent, according to Aaron Wilson.
Gibson had a standout senior season, registering a team-leading 9 sacks. With the emergence of Dean Lowry on the other side, Gibson often got — and won — single teams. When he was doubled, Lowry was often wreaking havoc. As a senior, he nearly equaled his tackle total from his first three years, and he held up very well against the run.
Gibson, though, weighed in at 261 pounds at his Pro Day, meaning he is likely destined to be an outside linebacker in the NFL.
