Despite being platooned with bruiser David Montgomery, whom the Lions traded on March 2, Gibbs has shown the ability to also be an excellent goal-line runner and has scored at least 10 rushing touchdowns every season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

With David Montgomery traded on March 2, Gibbs loses his platoon partner and should see significantly increased workload; the source notes Montgomery's presence previously prevented Gibbs' numbers from being better, and Gibbs should shine even more without him in the fold.
