Career history

Deanté Gray (born February 27, 1994) is an American football wide receiver who is currently a free agent. He played college football for the TCU Horned Frogs, and went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft.

College career

Gray had a breakout season in 2014 for the Horned Frogs after catching 36 passes for 582 yards and 8 touchdowns while averaging 16.2 yards a reception. He missed the 2015 with a medical redshirt due to a knee injury. With the Frogs struggling on defense in 2016, Gray was switched to defense for one game at cornerback but that was short-lived as he was switched back to offense. However, in his senior season, he had only 10 receptions for 119 yards and no touchdowns.[1]

At TCU's Pro Day, Gray ran a 4.43 yard forty yard dash, benched 12 reps and had a vertical jump of 32.5 inches.

Professional career

Gray signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent on May 12, 2017.[2] On July 28, he tore his ACL during practice, prematurely ending his rookie season.[3]

On March 26, 2018, Gray was waived by the Texans.[4]
