The Detroit Lions have signed their top draft pick.
Running back Jahmyr Gibbs signed his four-year contract on Monday, days before the Lions are scheduled to open training camp.
Gibbs, the No. 12 pick of April's draft, received a slotted four-year contract worth $17.845 million. The deal is fully guaranteed, includes a signing bonus of $9.978 million and a team option for 2027.
Gibbs is expected to play a significant role on offense this fall for a Lions team that finished fifth in the NFL in scoring last year.
In voluntary workouts and mandatory minicamp this spring, Gibbs worked primarily with the first-team offense at running back, where he saw significant time split out wide, with David Montgomery out with a leg injury.
