Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been selected by the Detroit Lions with the No. 12 pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
Gibbs spent just one season in Tuscaloosa after transferring to the Tide from Georgia Tech but instantly made an impact for coach Nick Saban.
Gibbs will join a young Lions offense that is capable of putting up some points, especially when former Alabama receiver Jameson Williams rejoins the team after his six-week suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
Gibbs is destined to have a stellar NFL career with his elite ability to make explosive plays as both a runner and pass catcher.
Roll Tide Wire wishes Gibbs the best at his new home in Detriot.
