The video of the Lions’ war room before drafting Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 12 pick went viral this offseason and fans immediately began to read into what this meant for Detroit. The franchise landed the Alabama tailback after a 2022 season where its offense was one of the best in the NFL, leading the sports world to speculate just how much better the team would be.
And on Sunday, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson hinted that the team would be getting a bit creative with their new weapon.
“We might use Gibbs in some ways that people don’t quite think we might,” Johnson said, per Lions insider Tim Twentyman.
