Former Alabama football running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored his 48th career touchdown in Sunday’s loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which made him the new record holder for the most touchdowns scored in a player’s first three seasons in NFL history.<\/p>\n
The Lions legend whose record he broke, all-time great former running back Barry Sanders, made a video congratulating Gibbs on the historic accomplishment. Gibbs also has the most touchdowns scored by a player before his 24th birthday.<\/p>\n
“I knew that the day could come that someone else would break these records,” Sanders said in the video. “It’s really special for that to be a fellow Lion. I love watching you play, and I know I speak for every Lions fan when I say thanks for all the memories in your first three seasons, and we look forward to many more to come.”<\/p>\n
Gibbs spent one season at Alabama in 2022, transferring from Georgia Tech. After that, the Lions selected him 12th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. That pick has produced tremendous dividends for the organization thus far.<\/p>\n
