Benjamin Gay did not play long for the Cleveland Browns, and he did not generate huge stats during his tenure, but he did become a fan favorite.
On July 29, 2024, Gay passed away in Colorado due to a vehicle accident as first reported on Nirfino.com. He was 44 years old.
The running back played for the Browns in 2001 where he had 51 attempts for 172 yards and a single touchdown. The head coach was Butch Davis and the franchise finished with a respectable 7-9-0 record for the new Browns and their third year back in the NFL.
