Gay projects best in a 4-3 Cover-3 match scheme, leveraging his speed and coverage ability in space against various offensive looks.
Immediate impact as a special teams player and sub-package coverage linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a three-down starting weakside linebacker.
A traditional 3-4 two-gap system that requires him to consistently take on and shed interior linemen.
His athleticism and coverage skills are well-suited for a modern, fluid defensive system that values speed and versatility at the second level.
Selected #63 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of Mississippi State.
