Gay can make an immediate impact with the Chiefs passing defense

Gay has an opportunity to make an impact early with the Chiefs by providing strong coverage skills to a position group that struggled in that area in 2019. He has three career interceptions and four pass deflections in only 27 career games with the Bulldogs. His success in coverage along with his athleticism will help him to cover some of the premier tight ends and running backs in the league.
