BEREA, Ohio - Browns cornerback Justin Gilbert is ending his season confused, offended and determined. Malik Jefferson Jersey .Nobody said its easy being an NFL rookie.The No. 8 overall pick in this years draft, Gilbert has been a major disappointment, so much so that a few of his teammates were publicly critical of him in recent days, saying he had wasted his first season.Following practice on Friday, Gilbert said he was hurt by some of those sharp remarks and promised to atone for his missteps.Im not mad at anyone about it, I brought it upon myself and I can take that and roll with it, he said. I messed up, but I can promise my teammates Im going to make it right.The Browns used their first pick this year to select the 6-foot, 202-pound Gilbert, a dynamic defender and return specialist at Oklahoma State. The team believed that by putting him on the opposite side of Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden the Browns would have one of the leagues toughest defensive backfields. But it didnt go according to plan as Gilbert made just two starts, was passed on the depth chart by undrafted free agent KWaun Williams and Pierre Desir, a fourth-round pick, and was benched.He didnt perform on the field and had a questionable work ethic away from it.Gilbert refused to get into any specifics about what may have prompted safety Donte Whitner and linebacker Karlos Dansby — two of the teams most respected veterans — to speak out about him. Browns coach Mike Pettine said he didnt have a problem with any teammate giving tough love to another.Im not a person to judge my teammates and put it out there in the media like that, Gilbert said. If I have a problem with somebody, I would address them face to face and thats just all I can say about that.Gilbert said part of the problem could be that hes not outgoing and his quietness may have rubbed others the wrong way. Gilbert felt some of the criticism may have been a little too personal.I think it may have crossed the line a little bit, he said, but at the same time were all here to do the same thing and thats win and provide for our families. So some of the things were right and some of the things couldve been kept to themselves.Gilbert would not address if he has been late to meetings.We keep family business in the family, he said.Earlier this week, rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel acknowledged he may have misjudged the transition to the NFL and said he intends to work harder in the off-season. Gilbert agrees with Manziel and that he may have taken some things for granted.Not anymore.I think I came along as the season went on and I think I made some pretty good plays down the stretch that werent really noticed or talked about like the plays that I didnt make that were talked about at the beginning of the season, so its just how things went I guess, he said. Ive just got to come back next season and turn it all around. ... I can assure everyone here that I will work a lot harder, in the off-season and during the season. Thats one promise I can make.Does he want to be great?I will be great, he said.Gilbert said his enthusiasm for playing with the Browns has not been dampened. If anything, hes more determined to show the team he was worthy of a high pick.It definitely sparked a flame inside of myself to want to prove a lot of people wrong and a lot of doubters, he said. Thats going to be one of my main goals next year. I think its just a little, minor setback for a major comeback.NOTES: Versatile CB Buster Skrine, an unrestricted free agent following the season, said he hopes to re-sign with Cleveland. Browns defensive co-ordinator Jim ONeil would like to see that happen. I would love to bring Buster back, he said. Hes one of my favourite guys on the defence. He embodies Play Like a Brown. I dont ever want to let good players walk out the door. ... DL Ahtyba Rubin will not play in Sundays finale because of a left ankle injury. Rubin, who played in his 100th game with Cleveland last week, is also a free agent. ... S Jim Leonhard insists Sunday will be his final game, ending a 10-year NFL career. Getting out there in the fourth quarter knowing that its the last one, Im sure the emotions will hit, he said.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cory Helms Jersey .
