So Willie Gay is a turd - academic issues, punched his white teammate in the face and was minimally productive yet somehow he is a 2nd round pick. DAT UPSIDE
Chiefs selected Mississippi State LB Willie Gay with the No. 63 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Gay (6’1/243) was a four-star recruit and one-year starting linebacker at Mississippi State who was suspended eight games for academic cheating and fighting his QB. If his character checks out, he has the on-field ability to be a starter in the NFL based on his athleticism alone. At the NFL Combine, he tested in the 94th percentile, showcasing 4.46 speed and a 39.5-inch vertical. On his limited tape -- he only started six games in college -- he plays like a total wild card. He takes bad routes and has some vision issues, but he hits hard and can chase players to the sideline. Gay profiles as a high-upside dart throw who needs to settle down to reach his potential.
