Hamilton's Take: Gray is a long, lanky corner with good ball skills. Has excellent height and arm length and uses both well, as he is physical with opposing receivers. Should only get more so as he fills out his frame. Has good speed, but not a burner. Has very good feet and hips and accelerates well.

My biggest concern with him is his change of direction. He has to do a better job getting out of his backpedal. Is a sound tackler downfield, but doesn't step up and make plays around the line of scrimmage.

His ability to play the ball in the air is exceptional. Has very good hands and instincts, should come up with his share of interceptions.

Overall, Gray is a raw prospect, but has a ton of upside because of size, frame, and athleticism. It may take a few years for him to get there, but he has the tools and instincts to turn into a very good corner at the college level.
