Of all of the players the Alabama Crimson Tide landed in the transfer portal last season, none had a greater impact than running back Jahmyr Gibbs. He was not only the Tide’s leading rusher in 2022, but he also led the team in receptions with 44.
Gibbs is one of the most versatile players in the 2023 NFL draft class, and he absolutely balled out at the combine over the weekend. The NFL’s official Twitter page tweeted out a by the numbers comparison between Gibbs and two-time first-team All-Pro Jamaal Charles. They are nearly identical.
Gibbs is widely regarded as the RB2 in this draft class behind Texas Longhorns RB Bijan Robinson. Both are expected to be selected in the first round of the draft.
