Jahmyr Gibbs Achieves Career-High in Carries as Coach Dan Campbell Sees Room for Improvement
Jahmyr Gibbs, the running back for the Lions, set a personal record with 29 carries, accumulating 156 yards and scoring two touchdowns during a recent game. He also contributed with five receptions for an additional 30 yards.
Following the game, Lions coach Dan Campbell remarked on Gibbs' performance, indicating that while the workload was significant, there is still potential for Gibbs to achieve even more. Campbell noted that Gibbs' longest run was 21 yards, suggesting he is capable of longer runs with slight improvements in blocking and execution.
Campbell clarified that while he appreciates Gibbs' contributions, he does not intend to have him carry the ball 29 times each game throughout the season, as that would lead to an unsustainable number of carries. He acknowledged Gibbs' excellent conditioning and performance during training camp, indicating confidence in his ability to handle the workload.
