Gipson has been a full-time starter for the 49ers the last two seasons and is about to play in his first Super Bowl.

When the Bears moved on from veteran safety Tashaun Gipson after the 2021 season, he figured that would be the end of his career. Instead, he’s about to play in his first Super Bowl as the 49ers’ starting safety.

They signed him in training camp in 2022 and Gipson, 33, has started nearly every game for them the last two seasons.

“I started talking to my financial advisor and I started a Little League team,” Gipson said Tuesday.
