Lions’ David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs rock Sonic-inspired cleats

Detroit – Detroit Lions running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs clearly approve of their nicknames – Sonic (Gibbs) and Knuckles (Montgomery).

If you doubted that, just look at the shoes they wore during Thursday’s Thanksgiving game with the Chicago Bears. Both wore shoes inspired by their respective video game characters, with Gibbs’ shoes having a white stripe and Montgomery’s having a yellow stripe.

Montgomery and Gibbs arrived at Ford Field with the Sonic and Knuckles mascots at their sides, and they wore pictures of the characters on their jackets.

The duo, along with Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery, were also involved in a CBS Sports commercial promoting their clash with Chicago. In the ad, Scottie Montgomery is seen getting angry at Gibbs for leaving Sonic rings all over the facility, and tells David Montgomery to “stop breaking everything you touch.”

Montgomery and Gibbs combined for 82 yards on 12 carries in the first quarter against the Bears.
