Deep-Speed Threat Who Blazed Past Defenders at SMU
In the 2021 season, Danny Gray was SMU’s big-play engine, posting 49 catches for 803 yards and 9 touchdowns while averaging 16.4 yards per catch; evaluators consistently praised his elite speed, separation ability, and ability to threaten all three levels of the field.[2][3][9][14] His fit is best for a team that wants a vertical weapon and YAC spark, but he’s more speed-and-explosion than polished route artist, so he’s the kind of receiver who can tilt a defense even when the box score doesn’t scream it.[3][9]
