Detroit Lions star running back Jahmyr Gibbs revealed that the Dallas Cowboys were among the teams interested in selecting him during the 2023 NFL draft.

Gibbs also mentioned the Bengals were interested in trading up for him if he was around in the late teen's or early 20's

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has proven to be a home-run draft pick for general manager Brad Holmes, but as the Alabama product recently revealed, he did not expect to end up in Detroit at No.

Plenty of credit can be placed in the hands of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who is viewed as one of the league's best coordinators and will once again generate plenty of interest in head coach searches.

When Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was a guest on “The Richard Sherman Podcast” Thursday, he explained his thoughts on how he thought the 2023 NFL Draft was going to go, and Dallas Cowboys fans will be in tears when they hear what Gibbs had to say about where he expected to be drafted.

Lions general manager Brad Holmes took criticism far and wide on that draft night in 2023. Among a certain cohort of draft experts, there is a strongly held belief that running back is an easily replaceable position, and therefore, not worthy of spending high-end draft capital on.

In 2023, the then-rookie ran for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns—good enough to reach the Pro Bowl. In 2024, Gibbs has amassed 727 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground for an 8-1 Lions team.
