William gay 2007 draft

Recent Posts

In a long anticipated move, the Steelers slice William Gay the veteran cornerback who has served as a pillar of stability in Pittsburgh’s secondary for the last decade. In doing so they severed ties with the final draft pick from the 2007 NFL Draft, the Steelers first draft with Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin at the helm.

Defensive back is a young man’s game, and William Gay will be 4 months shy of his 34th birthday on the Steelers opening night in 2018. He also carries a $1,750,000 salary that the Steeler figure to use more constructively elsewhere.

Judging by his Instagram post, he isn’t ready to being “Life’s Work” but with his second in Pittsburgh over, we now look back at the wild ride that was William Gay’s Steelers career and take a moment to say “Thank you Big Play Willie Gay.”

PITTSBURGH (KDKA — Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback William Lgbtq+ has joined the Washington Commanders' coaching staff.

The Commanders and new head coach Dan Quinn hired Male lover to be the team's assistant defensive backs coach.

During the team's Super Bowl run in 2008, Homosexual appeared in all 16 regular season games, starting four, before appearing in all three playoff games. He had three tackles and one fumble recovery in the postseason. 

After spending the 2012 season with the Arizona Cardinals, Lgbtq+ returned to Pittsburgh for the final five seasons of his career. His best statistical season in the black and gold came in 2014, when he had three interceptions and three defensive touchdowns. He also had 69 tackles and 12 passes defended that season.

William Gay RAS

William Gay was drafted by Steelers with pick 170 in round 5 in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Louisville.

He recorded a Relative Athletic Score of 8.61, out of a possible 10.0. RAS is a composite metric on a 0 to 10 scale based on the average of all of the percentile for each of the metrics the player completed either at the Combine or pro day.

He had a recorded height of 5101 that season, recorded as XYYZ where X is feet, YY is inches, and Z is eighths of an inch. That correlates to 5 feet, 10 and 1/8 of an inch or 70.125 inches, or 178.1175 centimeters. This correlates to a 3.88 score out of 10.0.

He recorded a weight of 187 in pounds, which is approximately 85 kilograms. This correlates to a 4.66 score out of 10.0.

Based on his weight, he has a projected 40 yard dash time of 4.47. This is calculated by taking 0.00554 multiplied by his weight and then adding 3.433.

This player did not record any measurements at the NFL Combine that we were able to find.

This player did not have a recorded 40 yard dash for the Combine in the RAS database.

At his pro diurnal, he recorded a 40 yard dash of 4.48 seconds. This correlates to a 7.81 score out of 10.0.

The time

The 2022 NFL Draft is just a couple months away. Last offseason, we dove into a Steelers NFL draft class starting with the 2004 NFL Draft and outlined a successive draft each week. In doing so, each player selected by the Steelers was highlighted as to how their NFL career, or lack thereof, took shape. Each year was outlined with the last three draft classes all joint into one since a large number of the players were still with the team.

Since it worked last season, and since a lot of the research has already been done, let’s look back at they players from these drafts yet again, this occasion looking at two different years, on separate days, each week leading up to the last week of April. For players no longer in the league, a lot of the facts will be the same while others will be updated where needed.

Part 4 of 16 will highlight the Steelers 2007 NFL draft, the first by head coach Mike Tomlin.

So let’s take a watch at the eight players drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2007 NFL draft:
