Jahmyr Gibbs Nears Barry Sanders' NFL Touchdown Record Before Turning 24

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, at 23 years old, is on the verge of breaking a significant NFL record held by Hall of Famer Barry Sanders. After a recent three-touchdown game, Gibbs has accumulated 41 career touchdowns. He is now just six touchdowns shy of Sanders' record of 47 scores before turning 24, a milestone Gibbs has until March to achieve. Since entering the league in 2023, Gibbs' 41 touchdowns are the most of any player in the NFL. Furthermore, a touchdown against the Eagles on Sunday night would tie him with Jim Brown for the fourth-most touchdowns before age 24, with Randy Moss and Emmitt Smith (43 touchdowns) also within reach.
