Have a feeling this guy is going to be huge for the defense this season.

Excited to see what Gifford brings to the field.

He's a ball hawk and a go-getter. I expect him to push the LBer group to be very competitive.

No doubt. He had an impressive camp and preseason but injury cut it short.

Just gotta stay healthy and the sky is the limit.

Gifford needs to stop being so injury-prone.

My biggest concern about that position group is health, there's no doubt that Gifford can I have a bigger impact in year 2 but that group needs to stay healthy, and it starts with "Shooter and Swipe" playing much better.

I'm a bit intrigued with Gifford, he was always around the ball during camp, has some ball-hawking skills as other posters have mentioned. Could be a good one at the Sam position. Played some Safety as well. Hope he continues to progress, if he can stay on the field there's a place for him on this defense.

Gifford has a ton of potential but sadly won't ever be able to reach it if he can't shake the Sean Lee-esque injury concerns.

Luke Gifford has displayed a world of potential in the past, although, his injury status has somewhat interfered with his progress. Nevertheless, I've still got high hopes that he'll be able to reestablish himself as soon as his health and conditioning allows. I'm hoping his opportunity to contribute returns sometime this year, whenever the staff feels he's ready. I assume he'll be given an opportunity to display his readiness in training camp.

Can he play special teams? There’s too many guys already in that position that don’t do enough on special teams.

It shouldn’t be that hard to outwork Smith. He is too busy being Cleareyed and selling sunglasses. Should have been benched last year.

 

[Idgit]

ST player who’s good depth.

 

[John813]

There's a chance. His CFB career was hampered by hip injuries so his potential could be untapped. On the flipside he deals with a lot of injuries, so good chance his career never really blooms in the NFL.

The new Matt Johnson

 

[Aven8]

He has Zach Thomas qualities for sure. I hope his body can hold up.

 

[jazzcat22]

I need to see more in his 2nd year. He looks to have very good potential. But need to see more.

Gifford and March could be pushed by Bernard and Kamura for roster spots. Especially if he gets any of those minor nagging injuries.

The new Matt Johnson

Like many of us, I share that fear. Let's hope he finds a way to stay healthy for an entire season. Is that asking so much?!

 

[cern]

Someone needs to step it up.

 

[Bullflop]

Someone needs to step it up.

Truer words were never spoken -- I'm seriously hoping it's the whole team that does so!

 

[Mr_437]

Gifford's sure can make some noise hyping the crowd up with a rally towel over on the bench.

My favorite middle linebacker of all time! Loved it when dallas picked him up. Wish I had a cowboys jersey of his!
