New Lions RBs coach Tashard Choice thrilled to coach Jahmyr Gibbs: 'I'm going to push him like no other'

Our Summary

Tashard Choice, the new running backs coach for the Detroit Lions, is a long-time admirer of Jahmyr Gibbs, a standout Pro Bowler in his first two NFL seasons. Gibbs, who was a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has impressed with his exceptional performances, amassing 1,412 rushing yards and leading the league with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024. After stepping up as the lead back when teammate David Montgomery was injured, Gibbs showcased his ability to handle significant workloads, confirming his elite status. Choice, who previously admired Gibbs from afar, is now committed to maximizing his potential, citing Gibbs as one of the smartest running backs he's coached. Despite Gibbs' impressive record, Choice believes his best days are still ahead, promising to push him to new heights.
