The Detroit Lions apparently have some unique plans for rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the 2023 season.

Unique, mysterious plans.

Does that mean a big role for Gibbs in the passing game? Gadget plays? A bit of Wildcat with Gibbs taking the snap?

But it sure sounds like Gibbs is going to eat too.
