Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is off to an All-Pro start this season. He has 526 yards and six rushing touchdowns while averaging over five yards per carry. Additionally, he has 26 catches and a receiving touchdown.

Ahead of Week 9, the Lions held their Halloween party, where everyone dressed up in elaborate costumes, and Gibbs paid homage to one of the best wrestlers of all time.

Gibbs showed up dressed as Jeff Hardy, sporting the high-flyer's trademark black tank top, baggy black pants, and arm sleeves. 

Jeff Hardy, along with is brother Matt, are one of the greatest tag teams in the history of professional wrestling. They have won tag team championships in WWE, TNA, Ring of Honor, and several independent promotions. The high-flying Hardy is a multiple-time world champion in WWE and TNA. His feuds with CM Punk and Edge over the World Heavyweight Championship in the late 2000s were two of the best rivalries in WWE.

His longevity has led to multiple dream matches across generations, including a battle of daredevils with Darby Allin in the Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament in AEW in May of 2022.

The Hardy Boyz are currently the TNA and NXT Tag Team Champions.
