Lou Young, a social media influencer, put the running back position on the spot. Young also does impressions of Coach Deion “Prime” Sanders. Several rookies got a chance to react to their ratings on Madden 24. Jahmyr Gibbs, a former Alabama standout, has a speed rating of 94. He is pleased with it, but he would like for it to be a 96. Gibbs was known for his speed at Alabama and Georgia Tech. In one season with the Crimson Tide, his explosiveness allowed him to total 926 rushing yards, 444 receiving yards, and ten touchdowns. Gibbs helped the Tide to 11 wins and a 45-20 victory over Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

He got selected at No. 12 overall in April at the NFL Draft.
