Jahmyr Gibbs modeled his game after Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey as a young running back, and he sometimes drew comparisons to Marshall Faulk during the pre-draft process.

"Meeting Barry, that’s been a lifelong dream of mine," Gibbs said. "He’s my favorite player like ever, so I’ve been watching him for a while. And yeah, just meeting him was crazy. A historic moment for me.
