The full breakdown

Gray was at his best as a pass catcher, earning a 79 receiving grade highlighted by a 13-yard crosser (Q2 09:22) and a 24-yard over route (Q4 13:47). He also flashed early in run blocking, clearing the alley on a 10-yard touchdown run (Q1 12:57) and sealing Chop Robinson on an inside zone (Q2 08:11). However, his 64 run blocking grade was weighed down by a missed reach block on a 6-yard loss (Q4 13:09) and a lost edge on an outside zone (Q4 04:30). Combined with steady pass protection on chip-and-release duties, his performance stabilized in the solid tier.
