Bibbs was not selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, but was signed by the Denver Broncos as a free agent.[7] He was signed to the team's practice squad for the 2014 season.[8] He was released in November and tried out with the Arizona Cardinals, but he was ultimately re-signed to the Broncos' practice squad.[9]

Bibbs was once again placed on the practice squad by the Broncos prior to the 2015 season.[10] He was promoted to the active roster in October following an injury to Juwan Thompson.[11] He was active for the game against the Cleveland Browns, but did not receive any carries.[12][13] The day after the game, he was once again released; however, he was re-signed to the practice squad two days later.[14][15]

On February 7, 2016, Bibbs was part of the Broncos team that won Super Bowl 50. In the game, the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10.[16]

On November 6, 2016, on Sunday Night Football, Bibbs made a 69-yard catch and ran for his first career touchdown against their AFC West rival Oakland Raiders.[17] He suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 13 and was placed on injured reserve on December 5, 2016.[18] Overall, he finished the 2016 season with 129 rushing yards to go along with two receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown.[19]

On April 29, 2017, the Broncos traded Bibbs and a 2017 fifth round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers for a fourth round draft pick in 2018.[20] He was waived on September 1, 2017.[21]

Washington Redskins

On November 24, 2017, Bibbs was signed to the Washington Redskins' practice squad.[22] He was promoted on the active roster on December 12, 2017.[23] In his first game as a Redskin, he caught a screen pass from Kirk Cousins then scrambled for a 36-yard touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals.[24] He finished the 2017 season with 79 rushing yards to go along with 14 receptions for 128 yards and a receiving touchdown.[25]

On September 1, 2018, Bibbs was waived for final roster cuts before the start of the regular season, but signed to the team's practice squad the following day.[26][27] He was promoted to the active roster on September 22, 2018.[28] In Week 5, against the New Orleans Saints, he scored his first rushing touchdown as a Redskin.[29] He was waived on December 15, 2018.[30]
