Prospect for the Pack: Mississippi State LB Willie Gay Jr.

The Green Bay Packers must use the 2020 NFL Draft to provide the finishing touches on a team that won 13 regular-season games and got within one game of the Super Bowl during Matt LaFleur’s first season as head coach.

Between now and the draft, Packers Wire will periodically break down one top prospect fitting the Packers’ roster needs.

Up next is Mississippi State linebacker Willie Gay Jr.:

What he can do

– High-energy player

– When he has a clear path to the ball, he brings the hammer. A friend of contact, not a friend of running backs

– Body movement is a little segmented

– May “cheat” in pursuit by ducking underneath blockers and doesn’t always have enough juice to recover.
