The Detroit Lions were one of the most surprising teams in the league last year.
After several disappointing seasons, the Lions put everything together, culminating in an NFC Championship run.
While they fell short of a Super Bowl victory, getting to the NFC Championship was a step in the right direction for this franchise.
Now that the Lions have some playoff experience and success, they can enter the 2024 season with more confidence.
They have already started preparing for the upcoming year, hoping to get the whole roster on the same page.
Jahhyr Gibbs was one of the team’s best offensive players last season, and he’s looking to take another leap in production this year.
As Gibbs said via Around The NFL, he wants to “go to that next level” as a receiver in 2024.

While Gibbs was an efficient rusher for the Lions last season, it appears that he also wants to grow his abilities as a receiver.
Running backs have an important role in taking pressure off the quarterback in the passing game, but if they can also act as receivers, it adds another notch to their tool belt.
Gibbs is entering his second NFL season, and if he can truly add this to his reputation, his ceiling as an NFL athlete will skyrocket.
The Lions certainly want to build on the momentum they had last year, and players like Gibbs can help them get to the next level.
Breaking through in the NFC has proven to be a difficult task, but this Lions team seems to be more than up for the challenge.
