Hall of Famer Kirk Gibson took off after landing at MSU

“I came to Michigan State University as really the last guy in,” Kirk Gibson said Tuesday morning before his induction at the 60th NFF Annual Awards Dinner. I wasn’t a guy who was highly touted. I think my credentials going in was ‘honorable mention Oakland County.’ But I had a plan. And, again, I’ve had great teammates and great mentors along the way to encourage me to see how good I could be in my beliefs. Michigan State University and the people I became associated with, they were the right people.”
