NFL Draft Profile: Willie Gay Jr. is a risk worth considering for the Bengals

Willie Gay Jr. turned some heads with his speed at the NFL Combine and what he does on the field is equally impressive. He could be exactly what the Bengals are looking for, but he comes with some baggage.

Linebacker

Mississippi State

Height: 6-1

Weight: 243

Pros: Gay is a great tackler. He is both reliable and a heavy hitter. Uses his hands to disengage from blocks.

He shows quickness filling gaps downhill and good speed over long distances.
