3. Gipson has a connection with Broncos’ pass rusher Von Miller
Growing up in Cedar Hill, Texas, Gipson had a unique opportunity to bond with Broncos stud pass rusher Von Miller. That’s due to the close proximity between the pair, as Miller’s alma mater DeSoto High was about six miles away from where Gipson attended high school at Cedar Hill High.
Gipson lists Miller as his favorite player, and he even got a chance to attend Miller’s pass-rush summit in Las Vegas. He got to work with the likes of Miller and Rams star Aaron Donald, which are certainly players to learn from about how to get after the quarterback.
“[Miller] gave me a lot of tips — film review, how to take care of my body, having mental toughness — a lot of things I was able to take into my senior year and my stats overall showed that,” Gipson said.
Now, Gipson will get to learn from another one of the NFL’s star defensive players in Khalil Mack.
