Jahmyr Gibbs Takes Bell Cow Role | Detroit Lions News

Jahmyr Gibbs is taking center stage for the Detroit Lions this season, locked in as the undisputed lead running back after David Montgomery’s trade and a new contract extension through 2030. Already a fantasy darling, Gibbs confirmed he picked himself as the top overall draft pick — ready to make fans either ecstatic or frustrated. With snap percentages soaring last year and no competition at RB1, expect him to dominate as the team’s bell cow. Meanwhile, the starting left guard spot remains up for grabs between Christian Mahogany and Ben Bartch, while Coach Campbell stresses the importance of “glue pieces” like Brock Wright and Tom Kennedy who keep the roster cohesive. The Lions hit full practice mode with nearly everyone participating — and the first injury report drops Wednesday — as they gear up for their season opener in just five days.
