Chris Gamble
Christopher Lee Gamble (born March 11, 1983) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback for nine seasons with the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Gamble attended Nova High School in Davie, Florida. He left Nova to join Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2000.
Gamble played cornerback, wide receiver, and kick returner at Ohio State. He was an integral part of the OSU 2002 national championship team, which went 14–0. Gamble played all three ways at Ohio State (offense, defense and all phases of special teams), earning 1st Team All-Big Ten honors, and 3rd Team All-America honors for cornerback. Gamble had four interceptions for the 2002 season, one of which he returned for a touchdown.
In 38 career games, he started 18 times on defense and 12 times on offense (started on both offense and defense in five contests in 2002). He recorded 65 tackles (51 solo) with three stops behind the line of scrimmage, seven interceptions and 21 pass deflections. He also caught 40 passes for 609 yards (15.2 avg.), rushed six times for 68 yards (11.3 avg.) with a touchdown, returned 60 punts for 467 yards (7.8 avg.) and had 18 kickoff returns for 384 yards (21.3 avg.).[citation needed]
Gamble majored in sports and leisure studies while at Ohio State.
On February 25, 2004, he attended the annual NFL Scouting Combine, but did not perform and combine or positional drills due to an ankle injury. On March 12, 2004, Gamble fully participated in Ohio State's Pro Day and performed all of the combined drills and positional drills. On April 5, 2004, he performed at another workout at Ohio State, establishing he had fully recovered from his ankle injury. He athleticism and speed were considered his top features with the main concern persistently listed as his lack of experience and rawness due to being a junior and playing as a wide receiver for the majority of his freshman year. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ranked Gamble as the third best cornerback prospect in the draft. Former Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt and ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. also ranked him as the third best cornerback prospect eligible for the draft. NFL draft analysts and scouts unanimously projected Gamble to be a mid-first round pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.
The Carolina Panthers selected Gamble in the first round (28th overall) in the 2004 NFL draft. The Panthers began assesing the possibility of selecting Gamble with their original first round pick (31st overall) after he remained unselected throughout the mid-first round. Upon reviewing the teams preceding them, the Panthers expected the Indianapolis Colts would draft Gamble at 29th overall following the departures of cornerbacks Walt Harris and David Macklin. The Panthers subsequently advanced their draft position ahead of the Colts by trading their 2004 first (31st overall) and fourth round picks (127th overall) to the San Francisco 49ers in return for the 28th overall pick which they promptly used to draft Gamble. He was the fourth cornerback drafted in 2004.
On July 30, 2004, the Carolina Panthers signed Gamble to a five–year, $7.50 million rookie contract that included an initial signing bonus of $2.75 million.
