  08/22/22 - RB *Jahmyr GibbsJr/2023, Alabama

  The praise has been nearly universal surrounding new Alabama back Jahmyr Gibbs. Since transferring from Georgia Tech, it's clear he's the frontrunner to succeed Brian Robinson as the first option from the backfield. It's the versatility that's made him such an interesting piece of the retooled puzzle for Bryce Young and the Crimson Tide offense surrounding him. That should make his choice of NFL influences fairly predictable.

Meeting with reporters in Tuscaloosa for the first time Friday, Gibbs said he likes to model his game after Carolina Panther running back Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers. "That's what the NFL likes," Gibbs said. McCaffrey has a rushing attempt-to-reception ratio of 781:357 since entering the league in 2017. Jones isn't as balanced at 822:183 while Gibbs was 232:60 in his two years with the Yellow Jackets. Robinson, now with the Washington Commanders, caught 35 passes while running the ball 271 times last year with Bill O'Brien calling the plays and Young distributing the ball. Alabama defenders have been complimentary since spring practice and now into August. "He's shifty. He got me yesterday in practice in team run," Alabama defensive lineman DJ Dale said. "I thought I had him to break down. He made me stop my feet. He stopped and kept going and he was gone. He was a very dynamic piece to our offense and I'm glad we got him." - Birmingham News
