The Lions reportedly want Jahmyr Gibbs to “show physicality in every sense” at training camp.

It has been an impressive start to the offseason program for Gibbs. He has lined up at multiple spots, including at wide receiver. After trading up for him back in April and trading D’Andre Swift, all signs point to Gibbs seeing a huge immediate role this season in the Lions backfield. It looks like Gibbs and David Montgomery will have a similar share to what we saw from Swift and Jamaal Williams last season in Detroit.

“It’s hard not to like that kid,” pass rusher Burns said. “He’s put quite a stamp on the locker room… He’s got it, but he’s humble with it.” Young previously opened OTAs with the first-team offense and based on everything we’re hearing appears to be somewhat running with the starting job as expected after going No. 1 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.
