[edit] NFL career
He played college football at LSU. He won a BCS national championship in 2003 with LSU as a nickel back. In 2004, he was signed by the Patriots shortly after the NFL draft as an undrafted free agent. His rookie year, Gay beat out cornerback Christian Morton, the Patriots' 7th-round draft pick, for a place on the roster. Later in the season, Gay was placed into the starting lineup because of injuries to veterans Ty Law and Tyrone Poole. Gay's rookie season concluded with a victory in Super Bowl XXXIX, in which he started opposite Asante Samuel where he was the leading tackler with 11 solo tackles. He failed to make a full contribution in 2006, due to an ankle injury that landed him on Injured Reserve.
