Player Review

Gifford showed me some good things at the Rubio Long Snapping spring camp in CA on March 6, 2016. He listens VERY well. Form is good and the stronger he gets, the more powerful his snaps will be. Locking down his spiral will be key and he is very much so headed in the right direction. Starting to hit his stride.

Gifford had a good weekend at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXVII Event on January 21-22, 2016. He has done a great job of continuing to improve over the past year. Definitely a different snapper than one year ago. Great drive. Snaps looked good in Vegas. Love to see him lock down his spiral so the ball is a bit easier to catch as he is picking up speed. Perfecting his spiral and also making sure he is going straight back instead of up and back (kills the speed) will move him up the rankings. Athletically, I would love to see him make sure he is running a bit lower to the ground and not so tall.
