STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Gibbs leads NFL in missed tackles forced; explosive-play upside drives ground attack.

Gibbs' rushing success stems from contact balance and elusiveness rather than speed alone. Across 177 carries for 847 yards (4.79 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns, he leads the NFL with 53 forced missed tackles and ranks t-12th with 3.33 yards after contact. He generates 36.1% of rushing yardage on explosive plays (12+ yards), thriving in outside zone (98 designed runs at 4.92 yards per carry) where defenses rarely load the box (15% of carries vs. 40.8% for outside zone).
