Overview
- Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs revealed a full-back tattoo built around his “Sonic” nickname, shown in images shared by celebrity artist No Pain by Ganga on Instagram.
- The new art mirrors former teammate David Montgomery’s recent Knuckles piece, keeping their “Sonic & Knuckles” theme alive after the Lions traded Montgomery to the Texans.
- Gibbs’ tattoo includes a large cross, portraits from his Georgia Tech and Alabama days, and a black mamba to honor Kobe Bryant.
- Following Montgomery’s departure, the Lions signed former Chiefs back Isiah Pacheco to a one-year deal to supply the downhill punch Montgomery provided.
- Social posts ranged from praise for the craftsmanship to knocks on Gibbs featuring his own image, and Heavy reported the Lions have not yet picked up his third-year option.
