Detroit Lions RB RolesLast Update: 4/27/2025
RB Overview
Role Security: High
04/27/25- Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have mostly shared work the past two years. However, Gibbs was incredible when Montgomery missed time last year. It's very possible that this is no longer a 1A and 1B backfield, as Gibbs may now be the clear No. 1 while Montgomery still sees significant work as the No. 2. This will not be determined until closer to the season. Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki will provide depth.
WR Overview
04/27/25- Amon-Ra St. Brown was targeted 141 times in 2024 and should retain high volume as the No.1 WR.. Jameson Williams emerged as a reliable No. 2 WR, resulting in 91 targets, and he should retain that role in 2025. Tim Patrick, Kalif Raymond and Isaac Te'Slaa will compete for the remaining roles.
TE Overview
04/27/25- Sam LaPorta is the lead TE and could be the second option in the passing attack.
