Detroit Lions Jahmyr Gibbs hoping to outperform Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara with work as receiver.
After logging over 1,000 all-purpose yards last year, the Lions want Gibbs to become a bigger part of the offense in the receiving department. There are expectations being set that he can run more intermediate and deep routes after catching passes exclusively out of the backfield last season.
“Just how decisive they are. The patience and tempo they have," Gibbs said. "But I’m trying to be beyond that with the receiver routes and running intermediate routes. I’m trying to do more.”on sharpening his releases and route-running. The Alabama product noted that the route tree of a receiver is vastly different from what he's dealt with out of the backfield.
Gibbs narrowly missed finishing with 1,000 rushing yards in the regular season, in part due to a slow start to his rookie campaign.
