NFL analyst deems Lions' Gibbs and Montgomery pivotal in quest for Super Bowl victory, according to renowned former player
Unleashing the Brutes: Mark Schlereth's NFL Draft "Absolute Units"
Get your helmets ready, football lovers! Mark Schlereth has unveiled his beefy bunch of NFL Draft picks, highlighting the most hard-hitting players - led by QB Jaxson Dart.
The Detroit Lions have climbed the ranks, reaching the conference championship in 2023 and boasting a whopping 15 wins in 2024. But blocking that Super Bowl entry has been a daunting task... until now.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Barry Sanders believes the dynamic running back duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery is the key. According to him, "They're the baddest duo in the NFL, and there's no stopping them" (USA Today, 2024).

With Barry's endorsement, it looks like the Lions are pushing toward that Super Bowl win. Gibbs, top rusher for the league's top offense, led the way with 16 rushing touchdowns, 1,412 yards, and his second straight Pro Bowl nod. Montgomery, the seasoned veteran, showed his worth with 775 yards and 12 touchdowns in last year's season.
Seems like Barry Sanders is betting on these bruisers to lead the Lions to the Promised Land. "David Montgomery, he's a veteran running back who's proved his mettle in the NFL, and now joining that Lions offensive line... And then you see what Jahmyr Gibbs did last season?" Sanders shared with USA Today. "I felt he truly broke out."
The Lions' offensive line looks even stronger with the addition of Tate Ratledge from the draft, making an out-standing unit with Taylor Decker, Christian Mahogany, Frank Ragnow, and Penei Sewell.
With Dan Campbell leading the team, the Lions' perception has drastically changed. Expectations are soaring, and showing their talent in the regular season is just the beginning. Putting it together for Super Bowl glory will be the defining moment.
Stay tuned for more coverage on the Lions' journey!
