Gipson was a two-time WAC Offensive Player of the Year at Stephen F. Austin and impressed during training camp and in the preseason.
He had seven catches for 79 yards in the preseason finale against the Giants and drew praise from Aaron Rodgers. Now, he will be playing alongside of him.General manager Joe Douglas and coach Robert Saleh had some fun with Gipson when they told him he made the team, acting like they were about to cut him.“That was my goal. I wrote it down. I manifested it. I worked hard for it also,” Gipson said. “There were some bumps in the road, but you’ve got to learn how to fight.
Xavier Gipson makes a move to get by Giants cornerback Amani Oruwariye during the second half in East Rutherford, NJ.“X has shown dynamic ability in the return game, he’s a really good football player,” Saleh said. “He’s got great feel for space in the pass game, obviously he still has a long way to go, he’s going to get better, but the way he works, his intent, his mindset, you can tell he’s going to be a really good football player in this league.
