Utah fan here, dude is a stud. Special teams, safety RB kick return he can do it all!

[@timnelcin8717]

How did he look in the showers?

Very impressive defender. Like a technique specialist.

[@Goldie12th]

I see special teams weapon written all over this kid

[@ThatChefMaki]

Yup CJ Moore 2.0

[@BEEFSERPENT]

Same

[@chrisgrissom3610]

Yep.... I see it

[@-seemsee-]

special teams, special plays, special players. ☝🏻

[@GamingTremor]

And a starting safety in 2 years

[@foundscott9852]

Versatile box safety/rb and a true football player. Special Teams Demon! Let's go!

[@michael.sherpa]

will be interesting to see where he lines up, but seems a great addition to special teams straight away. his tackling ability really stands out - one area that our secondary was lacking last season!

[@c1985paul]

He can line up at safety, corner, linebacker, or edge. That's why they picked him. Oh, and he can play offense too.

[@TheForeverAthlete]

​@@c1985paulFacts, after looking at the player bio. I understood why he signed him when we need and edge rusher now. This guy can do it all, they drafted him as a safety. But they NFL listed him as a Rb

[@DARKSABER860]

Pretty good pick. I'm not mad about this.

[@dirty7dan]

can't remember the last time i was hype about a lower pick like this, we looking GOOD for September! ONE PRIDE BABY

[@thomaswatkins3686]

Lmao. I’m sure you hated St Brown. No idea why these guys all have to be some gem in waiting to the fans. It’d be humorous if it wasn’t so damn sad.

[@dirty7dan]

@thomaswatkins3686 what? im wearing a 14 jersey right now lmaooo 🤣 and they dont all have to be gems, but for the first time maybe ever the Lions have been making impactful picks that are making a real difference. think what u want, but we've picked up some gems the past few years and ima celebrate about it!

[@Rad_Thibodeaux]

Let's go 🦁🦁🦁

[@taylorsova2594]

You guys didn't even add in his best offensive highlights. This kid is a true MCDC grit kind of guy.

[@beatmaster4998]

W player, him and branch bout to go crazy 😝

[@thegamingdrew3105]

From worst to best secondary like no shit

[@alvatrous]

Doubt he sees the field this year

[@thegamingdrew3105]

@alvatrous whatever you say Mr qualified to say if a nfl player is good enough or not.

[@xArtoriasTheAbysswalker]

@@thegamingdrew3105Realistically he’s not touching the field in the Secondary. Nothing wrong with that. He’s gonna dominate Special Teams and occasionally carry the rock as a switch up. Watch.

[@digitallaborstudios6899]

Unfortunately, he’s going to play running back

[@TheBICBOIChannel]

Brand new lions baby, here we come!

[@thebee0320]

Can't wait for the staff that uses a 6'7" tackle as a TE and a starting caliber linebacker as a fullback to use Vaki anywhere and everywhere

[@JRKudlick77]

Safety/Running back? Fascinating. Dude must crave contact.

[@emmetbrowne6331]

He had some of the best plays in college football last season as an Rb on very limited snaps. He’s special teams to start but an RB3. His cutback is elite (see USC game) and he understands defense alignment so well. Theres such a huge advantage to understanding the playing field from more than one position like Isiah Williams. Both will be elite back ups. I can’t wait to see Vaki terrorize a defense on a few plays a season or even get his chance if we have an injury. I get McCaffrey vibes when he’s on the end of a catch out of RB.

[@roywimberly4791]

Another dawg for the lions

[@dammiwenthamm2357]

All dbs is what we needed our division stacked with good wrs and our defense is gonna be top 5 mark my words

[@MrMW2nd]

brad holmes is a certified genius getting safety depth and rb depth in the same player

[@thomaswatkins3686]

Lol. You mean he’s a genius for drafting a player without a defined position. Gotcha.

[@encryption]

Watch this video at. 5 speed. This guy is a heat seeking missile. Very clean tackles. Takes good lines, and doesn't take unnecessary risks. Guys like this are like fly paper to x receivers.

[@AJSchnell]

Now this is a football player. What an ATHLETE. I’m not even a lions fan but I love this pick

[@Adam-gk9xi]

Dude looks tuff go lions

[@dakotaingram5245]

This dude can make open field tackles and lay the boom great addition

[@TheForeverAthlete]

Great pick, was confused at first befause the Nfl listed him as a Rb. But after looking him up it makes, dame explanation for why they chose Gibbs. They drafted an Athlete, he can play both sides which also makes him a potential special teams ace

[@originalname7658]

Lions finally got a defensive man who can tackle

[@Warden033]

Really?

[@brandonhawkins1288]

Besides Hutch

[@daverome9212]

And branch

[@thomaswatkins3686]

The guy is playing offense. Lol.

[@luniz4209]

Hopefully he can contribute on teams as a rookie and eventually add some depth to the short yardage unit. Hard hitting safeties don't tend to have long careers so you always need plenty.

[@tonyyost331]

He might be a good return man also

[@ricodelrico9891]

I love it to someone who can punish you on both sides of the 🏈

[@juliansimpson8339]

Pause

[@purdybeard8772]

All around baller

[@kanovalhalla7636]

I love that this dude shows up with bag intentions every time that kinda violence in the secondary is always good can't wait for preseason

[@DannyHoldStatenislandny]

[@Detroit-gx5nd]

Love this pick. True Joker type player

[@Present4]

Kid leaves it all out there. Knows how to tackle too

[@Valerie-Love]

Wowzaaa 🔥🔥🔥

[@jonsmith9708]

He has been on lions radar long time

[@easyox77]

How in the hell did we get Vaki and Manu, this is all I wanted and we did it. I’m at a loss for words.

[@tomwest5107]

did you really want manu before the draft? most people never heard of that big fella.

[@thomaswatkins3686]

Lmao. You didn’t even know this guy a month ago.

[@lyleschull6516]

Man I can't wait to see this dude on the field

I believe in Holmes in whatever he picks or drafts. Kid looks good. GO LIONS!

[@cabby26]

This dude reminds me of Brian Dawkins. Him and branch on the Detroit defense? That’s scary good

[@bralendennis]

GREAT BRAD HOLMES PICK

[@junecarter2312]

Looking like which player is he he Mr do it all thank god for him welcome to Detroit bro

[@Gpete25]

That 4-2-5 defense has so much depth now! Excited but the only thing I saw was he got burned by the receiver but with our front 4 and the pressure he should be fine in that safety role.

[@robysuryatama6662]

Haha, got a feeling he'll be a Lions. Really good addition to special team units. A good football player

[@drewbush2163]

ELITE TACKLER, WOW!

[@LaValle420]

Good open field tackling

[@words911]

Kid got grit

[@tj-597]

Hopefully the new hip tackling rule will not burn him, he seems to like to take down ball carriers that way. Might be hard for him to lay off that tendency.Wish him the best.

[@tomwest5107]

it's kinda funny that he tackles like he's the one running with the ball.

[@JohnFischer-yb1xf]

Where the rb highlights?

[@Catatonic419]

He hits hard I’ll give you that, but I don’t understand moving up to get guys not on anyone’s radar, but I’m sitting on a toilet right now and Brad Holmes is sitting on a throne.

[@justincogan4656]

Not saying he's at all going to be this guy, but his running style reminds me of austin ekler

[@HighFructoseCornSyrupDaddy]

IN BRAD WE TRUST 🦁

[@guitary]

Needs to wrap more. Got lucky in a couple of those hits the guy didn’t catch his balance. But I like the moxy

[@jaemercer]

With the new kickoff rules watch out for this guy!

[@BEEFSERPENT]

This is what great gms like Brad do Package your later picks to move up and get the guys you want esp when you’re in win now mode love this haul Super Bowl here we come

[@moistdlux3863]

We got us a swiss army knife boys

[@xArtoriasTheAbysswalker]

Gonna be a ST Stud.

[@jojojiles]

Funny the Lions say they see him more as an RB, these highlights are almost all defense. Also, how is an overthrow (@:54) a highlight?? Dude can make the no good sign all he wants, he was beat by a good step and a half. In the NFL that's a big play if not a touchdown. That being said, I actually like the pick, esp at the end of the 4th. Floor is a good special teams player, ceiling is legit depth at Safety & RB. He could save us a roster spot too.

[@chewyguy]

Brian branch 2.0 🔥🔥🔥

[@anotherperson6460]

I hope he doesn't try tackling with only his shoulder like some of these clips.

[@jaredmaida4917]

Sorry, but where is the highlights? Glad we got this kid, but #1 Dude has to WRAP UP and #2 His other highlights reels are much much better. This is shame compared to what his other film shoes. He's gonna be a good player if he just wraps up. Go watch his other highlight vids. This one is not comprehensive.

[@rainbowbabyblog5995]

If he gets a hand on you, it’s a wrap.

[@LussotheG]

He leads with his helmet a bit he gonna calm that down the nfl is all flags these days

Quandre Diggs 2.0?

[@EJackmanIV]

I have the feeling that this kid was a freaking STEAL!

[@detroitdave3]

4th round pick for this guy plus next years 4th? absolutely terrible value for a special teams guy. commentators on this video are great though. if Holmes would have taken a plastic bucket with this pick you guys would be saying "man that bucket carries water like nothing i've ever seen!" LMFAO

[@thegamingdrew3105]

Everyone commenting is a nfl analyst apparently. And yes I mean you too 😅. Let the big boys do the work

[@suebell2978]

Before you comment get your facts straight we had two 4th rounds for next year we gave one away. The 3rd round we gave up for the other guy is no big deal either we will get a 3rd compensatory pick for Jonna Jackson

[@nz034]

They gave up a lot to get this guy, hope he actually produces in the next few years. Wingo in the 6th rd was an absolute steal though, he could have went in the 3rd. Lions are fortunate to have Holmes as GM.

[@scotteduzntno8671]

He won't be playing RB

[@noorzanayasmin7806]

Man that gave me goosebumps. We are about to shut RB ass down. Blake Corrum wont be able to have his run game or Justin Jefferson or Pacua Nacua. Here we come.

[@thomasjerry652]

Lol

[@mrvroom188]

From Pukas rival team lmao

[@760dalewis]

Idk, he may make the team and may even play in 2024, but he wont be any good come 2025, when the NFL next rule change takes away tackling all together.

[@danielpagan9713]

Doesn’t make any since to draft him as a RB if you were gonna get one you could’ve gone for a true RB what are your plans with this guy? Could’ve gotten Blake corum earlier or Roman Wilson

[@apt7prod]

You do know that just because you draft someone as an rb doesnt mean they have to play rb right?
