For the first time in his career, veteran William Gay entered this 2015 season as the top cornerback on his unit, the clear number one. Though that says as much about those around him as it does himself, it’s clear why the Pittsburgh Steelers value him as much as they do, from his intelligence and versatility to his ability to make plays, which saw him return three interceptions for touchdowns last season.
Gay had a more effective afternoon on Sunday than in the season opener, a fact that can apply to just about everybody on the field on defense.
