Gabriel Knapton (born May 10, 1989) is an American former professional gridiron football defensive end.
In 11 regular season games, Knapton recorded 81 tackles and 9 sacks, and was recognized as a first team All-IFL player.
In December 2017, following the end of the season Montreal traded Knapton to the BC Lions in exchange for Chris Williams.
However, after acquiring Shawn Lemon in a trade,[7] BC released Knapton so as to avoid paying the remainder of his contract, which would have become guaranteed after one more week of play.
After several weeks of CFL free agency, Knapton signed a one-year extension with Montreal on April 4, 2019, coinciding with Jabar Westerman's release.
