Haley Calls Marcus Gilbert A Top Five Tackle

Todd Haley gave Chris Hubbard his due and again spoke to how well he’s played in Marcus Gilbert’s three game absence. But Haley is overjoyed to have his starting right tackle back.

And he heaped a ton of praise on the job Gilbert has done over the last two years.

“[Gilbert] one of the top five, in my opinion, the best right tackle in the league last year,” Haley said via Steelers.com. “And that’s with certainty from what I’ve seen.”

Gilbert had a tremendous season in 2015, playing at an All-Pro or Pro Bowl level though he was not officially included on either list.
