Jahmyr Gibbs Propels Lions Toward Division Titles

Jahmyr Gibbs, the Detroit Lions running back, has quickly proven himself as a top NFL player since being unexpectedly drafted 12th overall in 2023. Despite initial skepticism about selecting a running back so early, Gibbs has exceeded expectations by earning Pro Bowl honors in his rookie year and continuing to excel in 2024. On 'The Richard Sherman Podcast,' Gibbs revealed he anticipated being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys at 26th, or possibly the Cincinnati Bengals, who considered trading up. The Cowboys, struggling with their current running backs, could have benefited significantly from Gibbs' explosive performance. Gibbs' selection by Detroit has been mutually beneficial, contributing to a strong team culture and impressive offensive line, and has helped position the team for back-to-back division titles.
