2008 Season - Day 5 - D-Line Derrick Gray

The Raiders weren’t done adding defensive ends, when they signed Derrick Gray, DE, Texas Southern. Gray was called one of the top 40 prospects from small schools in the draft this season by NFL.com. He measures in at 6′4″, 266 lbs, and a 4.85 40 yard dash. Gray was a second team all SWAC conference player his Senior year by amassing 76 tackles, 24.5 for loss, 9.5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. He has prototypical size for a defensive end with long arms and strong upper body and leg strength. His negatives are consistency and lack of quickness and agility to get off of blocks.
