The\u00a0Detroit Lions<\/a>\u2019 selection of running back\u00a0Jahmyr Gibbs<\/a>\u00a0with the No. 12 pick in 2023 was controversial. It\u2019s rare to see someone in that position taken so highly unless they\u2019re a generational talent.<\/p>\n Of course, Detroit\u2019s move has paid off, but Gibbs recently discussed a few other teams he thought would draft him.<\/p>\n Gibbs joined the \u201cRichard Sherman Podcast,\u201d where he and the former All-Pro cornerback discussed some of the draft process.<\/p>\n He admitted that he never expected to go to the Lions so early., while also saying Dallas was the more realistic spot later in the first round. Even the Bengals were a thought in his mind.<\/p>\n \u201cGo to Detroit? No, I really didn\u2019t expect that,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Gibbs said.\u00a0\u201cI mean, I knew they liked me. But when you go on a visit, I mean, it seems like they all like you. So, I mean, it was crazy. I knew for a fact that Dallas was going to get me at 26 if I was still there, and a couple other places like Cincinnati is going to get me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Jahmyr Gibbs was almost drafted to the Cowboys or Bengals \ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: RichardShermanPOD | #OnePride<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/cGtdfKoYhR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \ud835\udd17\ud835\udd25\ud835\udd22 \ud835\udd07\ud835\udd22\ud835\udd31\ud835\udd2f\ud835\udd2c\ud835\udd26\ud835\udd31 \ud835\udd17\ud835\udd26\ud835\udd2a\ud835\udd22\ud835\udd30 \ud83d\udcf0 (@the_det_times) November 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
