Gilman gives the secondary a grown-up presence: he has seen starting work, changed teams midseason and kept playing. His value is bringing clarity and reliability while the younger defensive backs develop around him.
Strengths: 17 games, 17 combined 2025 starts, veteran experience, first-team depth-chart role, and safety versatility.
Weaknesses: Adjusting to a new scheme and sharing snaps in a flexible three-safety rotation.
