RD 2 | PICK 63 - @Chiefs: Willie Gay LB, Miss State
Gay (4.46 40 @ 243 lbs) made our NGS day 2 standouts list with elite athleticism (99 athleticism score) for a linebacker. Suspensions (8 total games) derailed his 2019 season and his production score took a hit (53).#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/rCpEi7X6qT

It's a valid point that the LBs have been so garbage these first two games that its not really possible to play much worse than they have.
It absolutely IS possible to play worse than they have. Yes, it is. [Reply]

Yep, yourself and others already spelled out whats going on days ago... he's gotta show better scheme awareness, its just that simple
I'm not worried in the least, this is an All-Star coaching staff and they'll have him up to speed soon enough... they will serve no wine before its time [Reply]

Yep. On offense Clyde is good and next year hopefully Niang comes in and kicks ass. Then the draft will look damn near perfect. [Reply]
He had quite a few snaps last night. Didn't get home on some blitzes and was completely washed out of a couple of plays. Hopefully he starts to make an impact as the season goes along. [Reply]
Watched him a lot during his snaps..he had one good tackle but mainly helped to block up running lanes. His speed was also on full display as he's rapid getting from sideline to sideline. Dropped into coverage a few times too. Hitch and co were talking to him a lot..i think he'll be just fine moving forward and we'll have a special lb if he keeps learning and works hard. [Reply]

I mean, linebacker is a mentally tough position to play. It's going to take a bit for any rookie LB to play. I think we're going to like the finished product. [Reply]
