Draft Note by John Paulsen
Gibbs has finished as the RB3 and RB4 in back-to-back seasons, putting together one of the most consistent two-year runs at the position. His production is built around pre-contact efficiency–his YBC/Att ranks at the 95th percentile, stemming from Detroit's zone-running scheme and his ability to hit gaps quickly. He's less effective once contact arrives (20th-percentile YAC/Att), so the offense needs to keep creating clean looks for him, and it likely will. His receiving ability is elite–his route grade (97th percentile) and target share (96th percentile) rank among the best at the position, and his 1.67 YPRR underscores how efficiently he converts catches into yardage. The opportunity picture looks improved entering 2026. Detroit has 161 vacated RB carries–5th-most in the NFL–including 16 vacated carries inside the five. With David Montgomery out and Isiah Pacheco stepping in as the handcuff, Gibbs could absorb more of that red-zone and overall touch volume.
