This week, we’ve already talked about how Amon-Ra St. Brown may already be considered a top-three receiver in Detroit Lions history and how Penei Sewell is in that very same conversation at offensive tackle.
The next current Lions player we’re going to talk about probably hasn’t quite earned that high of a reputation yet, but he could be there in the next season or two.
Running back Jahmyr Gibbs is coming off an outstanding sophomore season with the Lions. He rushed for 1,412 yards, 5.6 yards per carry, and 16 rushing touchdowns. Not even factoring in his receiving contributions, that goes down as one of the best rushing seasons in Lions history.
