Former running back among top Alabama NFL Week 7 standouts

It was another big week for former Alabama players in the NFL, especially those on the Detroit Lions. It's not often that you see multiple players from the same college make such an impact in the same NFL game, but that's what we got this past week in Detroit.

However, it does not just stop with the Lions. Several other former Alabama players played key roles as well across the league.

As we inch closer to the halfway point of the NFL season, here are five standouts from Week 7 among former Alabama players.

Jahmyr Gibbs, Running Back - Detroit Lions

Gibbs finished with 116 rushing yards on 29 carries along with five catches for 27 yards. Gibbs had the fourth-most rushing yards in the league this week.
