The title for best running back room in the league goes to the Detroit Lions, per one CBS Sports analyst.
Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, nicknamed Sonic and Knuckles, rushed for a combined 2,000+ yards and 25 touchdowns last season, cementing themselves as the best running back duo in the NFL.
“While Montgomery is the power to this backfield, Gibbs is the lightning and is just now grasping the peak of his powers,” CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan writes.
Some of his supporting argument includes the fact that they’re the first pair in league history with more than 10 rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons, and Gibbs led the league with his 20 total touchdowns in 2024.
