When Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was a guest on “The Richard Sherman Podcast” Thursday, he explained his thoughts on how he thought the 2023 NFL Draft was going to go, and Dallas Cowboys fans will be in tears when they hear what Gibbs had to say about where he expected to be drafted.
“I knew for a fact Dallas was going to get me at 26 if I was still there,” said Gibbs when reminiscing over the 2023 NFL Draft process.
The Lions had NFL analysts scratching their heads when they drafted Gibbs with the No. 12 pick in 2023, however, not many are scoffing at the decision anymore. In fact, 31 other teams likely wish they would’ve had the chance to draft Gibbs at No. 12 if they knew what he’d turn into for the Lions.
There’s a belief that running backs aren’t worth the value of a high first-round pick, but considering the splash Gibbs has made in his first season and a half, some NFL general managers are kicking themselves for not doing what the Lions did.
And the Cowboys are one of those teams.
