What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?

Someone mentioned this former Bulldawg the other day in the comments.

While the headline is tongue in cheek, I seriously hope he can get it together. He has untapped potential but a compromised mental health state, or at least it seemed as much during his time in Nebraska.

The Pandemic, and the time surrounding it, did a number on a lot of us, so hopefully a third time’s the charm for Gilbert.

  1. Good luck to him. I hope he has gotten his life together to live the rest of his life well whether he plays another down of football or not.

  2. Hope he has gotten his mental state worked out. Has too much talent to see it go to waste. Best of luck for hid life going forward. GATA, Arik!

  3. The guy has issues and his circle gives him bad advice. I feel bad for the guy.

  4. I hope he is receiving treatment for whatever mental problems he has. Donnan said on the podcast he does with the ugasports.com guys that Gilbert was a player who stood out on those 21 and 22 Georgia teams. That’s a hell of a statement about his physical ability and hopefully he can put it all together.

  5. Way back when he was still a dawg and went missing for some period of time and Kirby wouldn’t talk about him I heard through some back channels that he was in the hospital for mental health reasons. I passed it along to the Senator in an email and it was the only time I never heard back from him. I hope things work out for him.
