William Gay is heading back to the NFL.
Less than four weeks after the former standout cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers revealed that he was joining the staff for the Texas Longhorns, the Washington Commanders announced Gay as the assistant defensive backs coach under new head coach Dan Quinn.
Gay was picked in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Steelers, winning the Super Bowl the following season after moving into the cornerback rotation. Following one season with the Arizona Cardinals in 2013, Gay returned to Pittsburgh for five seasons, ultimately returning five touchdowns for interceptions in his career with the Steelers.
