Gilbert, 22, was selected in the sixth round of this year’s draft by the Steelers. He later agreed to a four-year, $2.6 million contract and managed to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason.

Gilbert stands to make base salaries of $585,000 and $675,000 over the next two years.

In 2019, Gilbert appeared in seven games for the Steelers and recorded three tackles.
