Jahmyr Gibbs has quickly become one of the most important pieces of the Detroit Lions' offense. His explosive running and game-breaking speed have helped establish him as one of the NFL's best running backs.

However, Gibbs is facing a major change this season. The Lions have brought in Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator, giving the offense a fresh look.

Gibbs recently discussed Petzing's system and had nothing but positive things to say. He believes the new coordinator's approach could create even more opportunities for Detroit's playmakers.

"He makes the run game and the pass game look the same. I think that will help us a lot, in whatever we want to do. He puts us in a lot of spots to make plays and win. He’s just smart. He loves ball, he loves the players."

That's quite the endorsement from one of Detroit's biggest stars. It will be exciting to see how Gibbs functions within this new-look offense and whether Petzing can take his game to another level.

Jahmyr Gibbs sends message to all fantasy football players

Gibbs is also one of the most popular selections for fantasy football players heading into the new season. His production makes him an attractive option for anyone looking for a reliable offensive weapon.

Gibbs knows plenty of fantasy managers will have their eyes on him. He even joked that he could either make a lot of people happy or make a lot of people mad.

The Lions star also revealed that if he were playing fantasy football, he would pick himself first. That's certainly some confidence from Gibbs heading into the new campaign.

Make of that what you will. But hopefully, Gibbs makes far more fantasy players happy than he does mad.
