Former Oiler Gifford Nielsen is having his number 14 jersey retired (along with fellow BYU quarterback Ty Detmer) on Saturday.
Nielsen ended up drafted by the Houston Oilers and had a six-year career in the NFL. That experience opened up doors as a sportscaster in one of the nation’s largest TV markets. He is currently a popular celebrity in the Greater Houston area who is involved in the community and serves as an LDS stake president.
Congratulation, Gifford.
