David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs will be 'two-headed monster' at RB, Dan Campbell says

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- After a complete revamp of the Detroit Lions backfield, coach Dan Campbell envisions a "two-headed monster" at running back with veteran David Montgomery and rookie Jahmyr Gibbs.

The Lions' rushing attack helped their offense finish with a top-five ranking last year, led by D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. But Campbell said he sees tremendous upside for Montgomery and Gibbs due to their different skillsets.

"Man, I think you need a back that push comes to shove, he can carry a load," Campbell told SiriusXM NFL Radio.
