Jahmyr Gibbs, born 20 March 2002 in Dalton, Georgia, is an American professional football running back for the Detroit Lions. A dual-threat back at Georgia Tech, he transferred to Alabama for 2022, averaging 6.1 yards per carry and catching 44 passes in his single season with the Crimson Tide. Detroit selected him 12th overall in the 2023 NFL draft, a pick widely questioned at the time and quickly vindicated. Paired first with David Montgomery in Detroit's backfield, Gibbs made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons. In 2024 he set a Detroit franchise record with 20 total touchdowns, leading the league, and scored four times in the Week 18 game that clinched the NFC's top seed. In October 2026 he was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after a 207-yard scrimmage game at Arizona, in which he passed Barry Sanders for the most touchdowns scored before age 25 in NFL history.
