Ideal system
Shanahan's diverse outside zone/play-action passing game, emphasizing YAC and deep threats.

Best role
Year 1: immediate deep threat and YAC specialist from the Z or slot. Ceiling: primary outside receiver with substantial volume.
Wrong fit
Run-heavy gap scheme offenses that prioritize blocking from their receivers and feature a limited downfield passing game.
Gray's speed and ability to create after the catch align perfectly with the 49ers' offensive philosophy, making him a high-upside fit as a versatile receiving weapon.
