The Detroit Lions<\/a> are hungry to make another run at the Super Bowl<\/a> in 2025. During a recent appearance at a youth camp, Lions star running back Jahmyr Gibbs<\/a> revealed that the Lions split him out in the passing game “way more” under new offensive coordinator John Morton.<\/p>\n “I gotta learn the formations for being split out,” Gibbs said,\u00a0per WXTY-TV Detroit<\/a>. “I’m being split out like way more than I was the past two years. That’s good. That’s going to be fun. I’ve been waiting on that.”<\/p>\n Gibbs proved to be a threat in the passing attack over the first two seasons of his NFL<\/a> career. The Lions running back registered 104 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns over his first two years, including tallying 52 catches apiece in each season. The former first-round pick hauled in 52 of his 63 targets for 517 yards and four touchdowns through the air throughout the 2024 season.<\/p>\n According to NFL.com’s Kevin Patra<\/a>, Gibbs lined up in the slot for 32 snaps last season, while being outside for 38 snaps. In total, Gibbs logged 568 of his 638 snaps in the backfield.<\/p>\n The Lions certainly could look a tad different with Morton running the offense after former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson<\/a> took the Chicago Bears<\/a> coaching job in the offseason. Gibbs has showcased his ability to be an electric player whenever he has the ball in his hands in his brief career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
