Gay has some past off-field issues
The Kansas City Chiefs have not been afraid to bring in players with off the field issues the last couple of seasons which could have been one of the reasons why he fell. He missed eight games of his 2019 season due to a cheating scandal. Gay told reporters on Friday that he has learned from the experience and is better for it. He is ready to be a pro at the next level.
Gay also had an issue with a teammate, quarterback Garret Shrader due to an altercation at the end of practice. It was reported by Scott Polacek of Bleacher Report that Gay would punch Shrader, breaking his jaw. Mississippi State head coach Joe Moorhead did not officially issue any type of punishment for Gay and was not suspended for their bowl game.
