Derrick Henry has the most rushing yards in the NFL in 2024, with Josh Jacobs third on the list and Jahmyr Gibbs fifth.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs carries the football during an NFL game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2024, at Ford Field in Detroit.Of the top five rushers in the NFL entering Week 12 of the 2024 season, three are former Alabama ball-carriers.For Henry and Jacobs, ranking among the NFL’s rushing leaders is old hat.
One area where the two Detroit running backs have excelled is measured by a metric called rushing-success rate. A rushing attempt is judged successful if it gains 40 percent of the yards needed for a first down on first down, 60 percent of the required yards on second down and 100 percent of the required yards on third and fourth down.
The former Alabama running back was the veteran in that pairing . Campbell said the Montgomery-Gibbs tandem reminded him of the Ingram-Kamara duo.on Wednesday. “AK was the young guy that came in, and he had the electric juice, as the player he is now. He was young; he was raw. And Mark, he wasn’t old, but he was a savvy veteran in his prime. Was more our hammer, but could do everything. I mean, he could run choice routes out of the backfield. He could run inside zone, wide zone.
