Chance Gilbert's physical tools and overall skill set remind us of Maxwell Hairston. The size and athletic upside are similar, but Gilbert showed more verified speed at the same stage. Both were two-way players with ultimate upside at corner coming out of high school.

Versatile defensive back with a well-rounded combination of athleticism, ball skills, and overall coordination. Measured in at around  5-foot-11.5, 175 pounds with solid length prior to his senior season. Lines up at corner, safety, wide receiver, and kick returner  for his high school team. Flashes a smooth, quick back pedal in coverage. Easily transitions from his pedal and has the long speed to run stride for stride with receivers on vertical routes. Good overall reactive quickness in man coverage. Shows quality instincts in coverage, both at corner and safety, jumping routes to make plays on the football. Finished his junior season with three picks and 11 pass breakups. Shows some physicality and striking power despite not being the biggest defensive back at this stage. Athleticism and playmaking ability is apparent on offense and special teams. Scored four different ways as a junior: receiving, rushing, kickoff return, and interception return. Long speed is apparent once he gets to the second level. Doubles as a talented sprinter with a personal best of 10.57 seconds in the 100 meters as a sophomore. Looks to have the highest upside at corner at this stage and will need to continue adding mass and strength. Well-rounded skill set points to quality upside and the potential to develop into an early round draft pick.
