NFL training camp RB battles: Depth charts to monitor (Lions: David Montgomery vs. Jahmyr Gibbs - The Detroit Lions doubled down on their running back room this offseason. They signed 26-year-old David Montgomery, the former Chicago Bears starter, to a three-year, $18 million deal in free agency while also drafting Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs, the second-best running back prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft, with the 12th overall pick. The selection of Gibbs was a big deal for the Lions because that makes him Detroit's highest-selected running back since Pro Football Hall of Famer Barry Sanders went third overall in the 1989 NFL Draft.  He's versatile and explosive at 5-foot-9 while weighing 200 pounds. Gibbs ran a 4.36 40-yard dash and registered a 33.5-inch vertical jump. He also led all SEC running backs in scrimmage yards per touch (7.0) in 2022. Gibbs will likely be the Lions' primary pass-catching and third-down back as general manager Brad Holmes compared him to Christian McCaffrey and Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk in July. Montgomery will likely be the early-down and goal line running back given his 5-foot-11, 224-pound frame. The Lions referred to Gibbs and Montgomery as "1A and 1B" in the team's backfield after practice on Sunday as both have received first-team reps.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-training-camp-rb-battles-depth-charts-to-keep-an-eye-on-who-will-get-bulk-of-the-carries/
