Kansas City Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. was mic’d up at training camp this past week. He jokingly took issue with getting the mic on a “hard” day of practice, while fellow rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire got the mic on an “easy” padless practice earlier in training camp.
“Imma be tired,” Gay Jr. says.
We get to see the athletic rookie put his signature speed on display early and often during the mic’d up video. He gets some work done on the sled dummies, before getting on the practice field with the second-team defense.
“We’re off to a good one,” Gay Jr. says to the camera. “Keep it rolling.”
When Gay Jr. is on the sideline he isn’t taking any time off, instead, he’s loudly cheering on his teammates.
“Defense! Let’s get it D,” Gay Jr. yells.
Gay Jr. shows off his impressive ability in coverage during team drills, working against TE Nick Keizer.
“Way to make a play, man,” Keizer says, encouraging the rookie.
This is the perfect teaser of what Gay Jr. will bring to the table in Kansas City and should leave a lot of fans excited to see him suit up for the first time.
