Professional career
Several NFL teams showed interest in Gray as a free agent following the draft.[13] In 2017, after demonstrating a 4.5-second 40-yard dash and a 36-inch vertical leap at the annual Texas Pro Day workout, Gray landed a tryout with the New York Giants.[14] After attending the Giants' rookie camp, Gray received invites to rookie camps for the Calgary Stampeders, Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League; however, Gray ultimately never played for any of them.[15]
On April 8, 2021, the Frisco Fighters announced that they had signed Gray for the 2021 season.[16]
