The Detroit Lions aren’t hiding it—they believe they’ve got something special in their backfield, and they’re ready to show the league.
Heading into the 2025 season, head coach Dan Campbell and the offensive staff want to fully utilize the dynamic tandem of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. While each back has proven they can dominate on their own, the Lions are now working on packages to keep both on the field—together.
“We’ve got two guys that are explosive in different ways,” Campbell said. “And if we can get them rolling at the same time, it becomes a nightmare for defenses.”
Gibbs brings speed, versatility, and the ability to make defenders miss in space. Montgomery delivers power, vision, and relentless effort between the tackles. Used in tandem, they create a backfield that’s hard to predict—and even harder to stop.
With both players coming off strong 2024 campaigns, expectations are sky-high. The Lions’ goal isn’t just to repeat last year’s offensive success—it’s to elevate it by turning this backfield duo into one of the NFL’s most feared combinations.
