Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs predicted to have HUGE statistical rookie season

When the Detroit Lions selected RB Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, quite a few people were either A) scratching their heads in confusion or B) flat-out upset with GM Brad Holmes for selecting a running back so high. But, since then, many folks have calmed down a bit, and the hope is that Gibbs can be so good that when we look back, it will look like the correct pick. In order for that to happen, Gibbs is going to have to make an immediate impact during his rookie season, and that is exactly what one analyst believes he will do.

Key Points

  • According to Natalie Miller of The Draft Wire, Gibbs is projected to have an impressive rookie campaign.
  • The Lions raised eyebrows when they selected Gibbs as the 12th overall pick in the draft.
  • If Gibbs hits the ground running and lives up to the predicted statistics, he has a strong chance of being a top contender for the offensive rookie of the year award.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs predicted to have HUGE statistical rookie season

According to Natalie Miller of The Draft Wire, Gibb is going to have a HUGE statistical rookie campaign. Here is what Miller believes Gibbs will do in 2023, along with her rationale.

Rushing yards: 975
Receiving yards: 500
Total touchdowns: 8

The Lions shocked just about everyone when they took running back Jahmyr Gibbs at No. 12 overall in the draft, but they clearly took him there with a plan in mind. Gibbs will likely not only be a primary running force in a rotation with David Montgomery, but will also provide plenty of explosion in the short-yardage passing attack. Should he hit the ground running, expect Gibbs to be in the race for offensive rookie of the year.

Bottom Line: Gibbs has the talent to be great

The Lions’ selection of Gibbs as the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft raised eyebrows, but there is growing optimism surrounding the rookie running back. Analysts predict a standout rookie season for Gibbs, with impressive rushing and receiving yards, along with multiple touchdowns. If he lives up to these expectations, Gibbs could emerge as a strong contender for the offensive Rookie of the Year award. While the pick was initially met with skepticism, the Lions’ plan and Gibbs’ potential suggest that he has the opportunity to make an immediate impact and prove his worth on the field.
