Gibbs stepped up big as the full-time starter last year after they traded David Montgomery, rushing for 1,223 yards. And 13 touchdowns while catching 77 passes for 616 yards and 5 more scores. He even led the lead with 20, total touchdowns the year before. Campbell balled out too, earning first team all pro and pro bowl nods, with 176 tackles,

1:019 for loss, 5 sacks, and 3. Forced fumbles. Smart plays all around to keep building this squad.
