Garrett Antone Gilbert (born July 1, 1991) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback for seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL). The son of former NFL quarterback Gale Gilbert, he played college football for the Texas Longhorns and SMU Mustangs.
Joining the NFL in 2014, Gilbert was primarily assigned to his teams' practice squads during his first four seasons and appeared in only one game with the Carolina Panthers. He came to prominence in 2019 as the starting quarterback for the Orlando Apollos of the Alliance of American Football (AAF), where he led the league in passing yards and passer rating. Gilbert rejoined the NFL after the AAF suspended operations and started games for the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football Team.
