The Story of Jahmyr Gibbs: A Breakout Star

In this video, I talk about NFL Running Back, Jahmyr Gibbs, for the Detroit Lions. Gibbs grew up in Dalton, GA and was raised by his grandmother. I talk briefly about his childhood, his high school football days. His days playing football for Georgia Tech and Alabama, and finally, I talk about his draft and how it confused a lot of people. He was drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft at pick 12 overall. I talk about his impact with the Detroit Lions up to this point. Enjoy. Cheers

I am obsessed with Gibbs. After that Lions leap I have been following him and his background. he seems like a humble chill kid. And talented!

[@theodery2712]

The fact that he loved Barry Sanders and ends up at the Lions ( when he said that at the interview with Coach Campbell Brad Holmes, they probably looked at each other and thought, this is our guy). That's poetic justice. And the fact he knew the tougher side of life, being adopted by a white family, made him the right person to fit on the Lions. He, and Jamo will both be lions stars for a decade.

[@AlisonPratt-vc3os]

Branch will too!!

[@zarka223]

I appreciate that!

[@charlespapineau5428]

I like the Gibbs pick a lot. The kid has blazing speed, great cutting ability, is a great receiver, and can run between the tackles if needed. He is a great complement to Montgomery. He can line up as a wideout with Jamo being the only guy who is faster. As Brad said, he's a weapon. Add into that a humble attitude and you have a great addition to the offense. What is intriguing as a fan is the 2nd year jump for Gibbs and LaPorta. You could add Jamo in there as well. Also consider Hooker's potential. This offense could go from very good/borderline elite to the best in the NFL. Literally zero weaknesses except for offensive line depth, which could get fixed easily. What an exciting time to be a Lions fan!

[@zarka223]

I 100% agree with you. They are stacked with weapons. It’s going to be a nightmare for any opposing defense. Especially when Jamo and Amon Ra line up together. It’s basically pick your poison at that point.

Thank you, Miss Angie! What a great kid. I was hoping the Lions might take Gibbs with their pick in the middle of the 2nd Round. I was PISSED they took him so highly. A scat back at 12? He is so much more than that. Excellent between the Tackles. Amazing balance and vision. And SPEED. He is frickin unbelievable.

Absolutely great job. Great short documentary. I was extremely geeked to get Gibbs. He’s ours now. Ben Johnson is just learning how to use him. I had him at a 800/800 year. But I do believe he will get over 1000 yards now. Monty will get close to the same.

[@zarka223]

I think Monty will definitely score more because they will use him within 5 yards of the opposing end zone, but Gibbs will definitely be a huge factor for that offense. Can’t wait!

[@patrickquinn22ify]

Story time. Gibbs first gained national exposure from a game televised on ESPN. Dalton vs. Harrison. Harrison's quarterback at the time was Justin Fields. Dalton was in the game late and Fields got injured. Harrison ended up winning the game. Future NFL high school coach of the year at Dalton fielded hundreds of call after gibbs went off for more the 200 yards in that game if im not mistaken. Thus, a star was born.

[@zarka223]

That’s awesome. I’m planning on doing more in depth documentaries on these players. I appreciate that info.

Love the work it took to do this video and the production. Gibbs makes every defense look slow, even the Ravens unit. He reminds me of a faster McCaffery and that's a GREAT thing. Can you do a video on Anzalone? He's having a break out year. Again, great job and thanks for the content. Subscribed.

[@zarka223]

every time he's given a larger role hes produced atl 18 touches 82 yards,bal 20 touches 126 yards,vegas 31 touches 187 yards.. started those games...

With Jamo on the field defenses automatically have to come out of one high, they can’t crowd the box. ”NASCAR” offensive package could be Jamo Leaf wide, Laporta Saint in the slot and Gibbs in the backfield. Scary speed and that would stress any defense.

[@erikvanderpol8548]

Mike, I stumbled upon your video and I was shocked at production quality. Your voice as a narrator is perfect. Music is great. Great story telling! If you would mind me giving you one small critique, if you improve your background to a studio like feel, I feel like it would increase your overall production quality and really make this feel like it was an NFL film production. Man you are killing it though, can’t wait to see more in the future!! Great Job!!
