As the Steelers work on the retooling the 2015 defense, William Gay emerges as the most veteran member of the secondary, but will he be the most valuable?
Gay is a nine-year veteran and has been with the Steelers for his entire NFL career except for 2012 when he traveled out to Steelers West (Arizona Cardinals) to try his luck out there. He has played 112 games, not starting in all of them, giving him the longest playing streak among cornerbacks.
Gay’s endurance is impressive. So was his 2014 season. He had his second highest year in tackles and he had a career-high three interceptions, which was a rare bright spot for the Steelers in defensive picks.
