Former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs isn’t expected to be the first running back selected in the 2023 NFL draft, but he is projected to be a potential late first-round pick.
Gibbs only spent one season in Tuscaloosa after transferring from Georgia Tech, where he played his freshman and sophomore seasons.
In 2022, he rushed for 926 yards and had seven touchdowns. He was also the Crimson Tide’s leading receiver with 444 yards and three receiving touchdowns.
Rick Spielman, former Minnesota Vikings general manager, recently discussed what kind of role he expects Gibbs to have in the NFL.
He argues that Gibbs’ versatility will lead to him being utilized in a “Christian McCaffrey-type role.”
