Gay (is a) Steeler

William Gay, the Rookie 5th round DB selection out of Louisville has landed a roster spot.

Not sure if he is related to the other prominent Gay athlete (Tyson Gay), who is dominating the sprint world championships taking place in Japan this week, but he truly earned his place on the squad. Other than one very noticeable drop of an easy interception in the third preseason skirmish, he has been a ballhawk every time he took the field in the preseason.

Gay seems to have a lot of good tools as well as very good quickness... Sure, at a listed 5-10/190, everyone wishes he was a little taller and a little heavier, but if he can turn into a shut-down corner, the joke will be on the opposition instead of the first openly Gay Steeler in their long 75-year history.
