Ranked 14th among 14 wide receivers on the Giants' 90-man roster entering training camp, making him unlikely to make the 53-man roster unless the return game significantly helps his case. Over three seasons with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles, averaged 9.1 yards on 74 punt returns and 25.9 yards on 51 kickoff returns. However, has a habit of fumbling the football—12 in 157 career touches as a returner, receiver, and rusher—which cost him jobs with both the Jets and Eagles.

The source suggests that with John Harbaugh's emphasis on special teams—he broke into the NFL as a special teams coordinator with the Eagles—Harbaugh can maximize Gipson's production as a punt returner in 2026.
