NFL Draft 2023 RB rankings: Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama | Chris Simms Unbuttoned | NFL on NBC

[DyersEve]

Thanks for making a nervous Lions fan feel better, lol.

[Ejohns]

I love how every media personality was saying that every Lions pick was awful and then everyone is making vids about how great every pick is.

By all accounts this was a great draft, the media just doesn't like the order.

[kcoreykc]

In the Lions offense under Ben Johnson Gibbs will be a star

[marleyoda]

Great point Simms.
Combine 40 yard dash
Kamara:4.56
Gibbs: 4.36
Big difference

[stephensdygert]

Lets just admit it! Gibbs is better than Robinson. The Detroit Lions drafted the best offensive player in the draft.

[Hus]

Chris you do your homework; that’s why I put you first in your tier category. Your spot on!!! I hope Kwesei reviews your tiers before the draft.

[Brent]

Maybe after he gets in the Lions weight room he can put on 10 lbs. JGIBBS has great vision. Chris just said it. JGIBBS and Jamo can really open up the field. JGOFF will tear it up with the weapons he has at his backfield.

[alexarchie]

can yall tell chris i respect him alot because hes a former qb who honors and respects runningbacks and he knos when he see's a special one

[stanreaper]

This just in: Chris Simms describes a juke move.

[seanfletter]

Hopefully he is a sturdier version of Best.

[Oh_deer]

simms thinks he's a top 40 pick. well, technically he wasn't wrong.

[michigunsanta]

Achane was the fastest RB in the draft but thsts track speed Gibbs actual play speed and quickness is as good or better than anyone! He reminds me of a slightly slower, tougher runner better receiving version of CJ2K. 👍🏻💙

[withtwins]

So let me see if I get this correct...
For gibbs-
- his speed is better
- His hands are better
- Hisabelity to change direction is better
So what exactly is Robinson better at?

[heyymannnnnnn]

Reminds me of Jamaal Charles, but a touch less explosive with better passing catching ability

[TheMrdhyde]

Most all former professional players kids instantly pops out to me as "Oh thats Joe Buck's kid, only reason he got in the door." However with Chris Simms that don't happen for me. I watched his dad have the greatest game a QB could have in the super bowl so he is BIG in my mind. I totally accept and respect Chris Simms for his knowledge of the game. I know he played in NFL but he was no Phill Simms but thats ok.

[billytheweasel]

ESPN has him a 5'11" but seems he's 5'9"

[justwait]

Achane has the best top end speed in this rb class if we're only looking at top end speed.

[charlesbryant]

Robertson is a bad bad running back, but Gibbs is way way BETTER.

[astrahl]

Gonna be better than bijan. Bikan has no lateral agility

[oaklandtraphouse]

Bijan has better top speed watch the film
