At the University of Southern California, Frank played both offense and defense and had won All-America honors as a senior.

It took only a few days for Giants coach Steve Owen to realize he had a prize as Gifford could run, pass, catch, play defensive back, and return punts and kicks.

In 1956, he was the NFL's Most Valuable Player as he paced the Giants to a league championship.
gifford-frank-630-2
Gifford was named to the Pro Bowl at three different positions – first as a defensive back, then as an offensive halfback; and last as a flanker in 1964.

Gifford was named first- or second-team All-NFL six times.
gifford-frank-630-7
In 1956, Gifford was the NFL's Most Valuable Player as he paced the Giants to a league championship.
gifford-frank-630-8
The Giants won big during the Gifford years and, while the team was loaded with many great pro football names, no one played a more dynamic role, year in and year out, in bringing the Giants success than did Frank Gifford.
