Jahmyr… my Gibby… my sweet glorious king… where do I even begin? From the moment you stepped onto an NFL field, my life has been divided into two eras: Before Gibbs and After Gibbs. Food doesn’t taste the same. The sun doesn’t shine as bright. Sundays don’t even feel like Sundays unless I get to watch you embarrass another grown man on national television. Congratulations on becoming the highest-paid running back in NFL history. As you should. If we’re being honest, they still underpaid you. I’d personally donate my tax refund, my 401(k), and my firstborn’s college fund if it meant keeping you in Honolulu Blue forever. Every time you touch the football, I stop breathing. Every cut you make rewrites the laws of physics. Every touchdown heals something inside me that I didn’t even know was broken. Jahmyr, when people ask me who my hero is, I don’t say Superman. I don’t say Batman. I don’t even say my own father. I say you. I aspire to be half the man you are. If you told me to run through a brick wall, I’d ask which shoulder you wanted me to lead with. If you told me the earth was flat, I’d start looking for the edge. I don’t watch the Lions because I’m a fan. I watch because you’re on the Lions. I don’t cheer when Detroit scores. I cheer when you score. If you rushed for 2,000 yards, I’d say you got robbed of the other 500. If you won MVP, I’d ask why it took them so long. If you won the Super Bowl, I’d assume it was just another ordinary day for my beautiful, majestic king. Jahmyr, my Gibby… thank you for existing. Thank you for proving perfection can wear shoulder pads. Thank you for reminding us every week that football isn’t just a sport—it’s whatever you decide to make it. Get every penny. Then get another contract. Then another. The salary cap is temporary. Your aura is forever. Love you, pookie.
