Detroit Lions running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have recently adopted some playful new nicknames—Sonic and Knuckles—and these monikers have quickly gained popularity.
Ahead of the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Chicago Bears, Gibbs and Montgomery made a memorable entrance to Ford Field. The two players arrived wearing custom jackets emblazoned with their new Sonic and Knuckles alter-egos. To make the moment even more memorable, Sonic and Knuckles themselves were there to escort the duo to the stadium!
This fun and lighthearted gesture added an extra dose of excitement to an already thrilling game. Fans were excited to see their favorite players embracing the fun, and videos and photos of their arrival quickly went viral.
