Lions RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery out to make history

DETROIT -- After a long day, Lions right tackle Penei Sewell returned home to a pleasant surprise.

His 2-year-old son, Malakai, was impersonating Sonic the Hedgehog -- but not the video game character. He was mimicking Sewell's Lions teammate, running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

"I got a Sonic fluffy toy for my son because he loves Jah," Sewell said. "One day, I come home and he's running with the toy, he goes, 'DaDa, Uncle Jah.'"

Sewell's toddler isn't the only one who has taken notice.
