Gipson has been a consistent starter in this league since he entered the league in 2012 with the Cleveland Browns. Gipson was a dependable safety for the Browns in four seasons, but his best season came in 2014. Gipson had 52 tackles, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and a career-high six interceptions, including one for a score, all in 11 games for the Browns. It was enough to earn him his lone Pro Bowl nod.
