Jahmyr Gibbs Takes Over Backfield | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions’ backfield is rebooting after David Montgomery’s departure, leaving Jahmyr Gibbs as the lone superstar with a mountain of new responsibility. With barely any NFL experience among his backups and a new offensive coordinator pushing for more touches, Gibbs could see 20+ carries per game — a massive leap from his previous 12-15. The Lions’ success hinges on his durability and efficiency, while coaches must strategically deploy rookies Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors to keep Gibbs fresh late in games.
