From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Gay (born January 1, 1985[1]) is an American football cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, formerly of the University of Louisville football team. He was chosen by the Steelers with the 170th pick (5th round) of the 2007 NFL Draft. In his first preseason game he picked off a Tyler Palko pass and laid out Saints first round draft pick Robert Meachem.
Gay is perhaps also notable for being offsides as a defender on a field goal kick attempt in the final minute of Louisville's game against Rutgers in 2006. The kick was a failure, but a penalty was called against Louisville, and the kicker successfully scored on the new attempt. As a result, Louisville experienced their only loss of the season, effectively ending their bid for a National Championship game berth.
