Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell didn’t mince words when talking about Jahmyr Gibbs — and the rest of the NFL should take notice.
Following another standout performance, Campbell made it clear that what fans are seeing from Gibbs is only the beginning. Calling the young star “just getting started,” the Lions coach emphasized that Gibbs is still scratching the surface of his potential despite already producing at an elite level.
Gibbs has rapidly become the engine of Detroit’s offense, impacting games as both a runner and receiver. His speed, vision, and ability to create explosive plays have forced defenses to adjust weekly, yet Campbell believes the most dangerous version of Gibbs hasn’t arrived yet.
What stands out most is the trust. Campbell spoke not just about Gibbs’ athletic ability, but his growth in preparation, understanding of defenses, and overall football maturity. That growth, according to the coaching staff, is what separates a talented player from a franchise cornerstone.
As the Lions continue their push toward postseason expectations, Gibbs’ rising influence cannot be overstated. Campbell’s message wasn’t hype — it was a declaration. Detroit isn’t just leaning on Gibbs now; they’re building around him for the long haul.
And if Campbell is right, the NFL hasn’t seen the best of Jahmyr Gibbs yet.
