The Detroit Lions took a risk when they opted to draft former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Gibbs is a tremendous athlete and football player who is already impressing as a potential franchise running back for Detroit. Here’s what Twitter is saying about Gibbs through OTAs.
