Jahmyr Gibbs Can Join Historic NFL Club in Week 1
Jahmyr Gibbs needs one touchdown against the Saints to become only the sixth NFL player with 50 touchdowns in his first 50 games.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is on track to make history this season. He currently has 49 touchdowns in 49 career regular-season games, placing him among only six players in NFL history to reach 50 scrimmage touchdowns in their first 50 games. Notable company includes Jim Brown, Marcus Allen, Chuck Foreman, Larry Johnson, and Steve Van Buren.
Gibbs has already surpassed these records through three NFL seasons. His 49 touchdowns rank as the most by any NFL player in their first three seasons. This impressive feat began in his freshman season and continued in consecutive years, setting him apart as an elite touchdown producer.
Gibbs has been a crucial part of Detroit's offense, playing 67 percent of offensive snaps last season, a number that could climb to 75 percent in 2026. The Lions have invested in his future, signing him to a substantial contract extension through 2030. With these factors in mind, there is no doubt that Gibbs will leave a lasting impact on the game, as he continues to break records and solidify his place among football's greatest.
