It’s just hard to say how teams will interpret my injuries. A lot of times when they bring you in on a visit, most of that is just to make sure they can check out your medical history.”
The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Gifford this past season appeared fully recovered from a hip injury that sidelined him for the final five games of 2017.
“Some teams probably think it’s a big deal and want to know for sure, and other teams not so much because I played my full senior year,” he said.
