I’m not going to whip out the chains and bondage, so let’s get that clear right off the bat. I’m simply here to tell you all about the “Greys and Grays” that are making their mark on the world with everyone so obsessed with 50 Shades of Grey.
Jonas Gray, Running Back, New England Patriots
While the running back was inactive for the Super Bowl, he still made an impression on the World Champions during the regular season. The 24-year-old Gray went off in Week 11 when he played for 45 snaps and had a total of 201 yards and four touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts. Yes you read that correctly, four touchdowns. He didn’t go home with Gisele—and he might have to fight for a spot in 2015— but when you’re in LeGarrette Blount’s shadow, what can you do?
And don’t forget this glorious moment which is completely appropriate for this article.
Sonny Gray, Pitcher, Oakland Athletics
The newest member of the daddy club is making his mark not only on the Oakland A’s, but in the world of Major League Baseball.
In two seasons Major League seasons, he has accumulated a 2.99 ERA with a .594 % win/loss percentage and in 283 innings pitched. He also has 250 strikeouts and a 1.173 WHIP. He was also awarded the American League Pitcher of the Month for April and July of last season. Gray is only 25 years-old and has already faced some of the biggest names in MLB.
Allisha Gray, Guard, North Carolina Tar Heels
Allisha Gray was not exactly being talked about until recently when she absolutely went off to help the Tar Heels come from behind in a victory over Florida State. The sophomore was “playing out of her mind” according to a camera operator at the game.
The game not only resulted in a win for the Tar Heels, but concluded in Gray’s game-high 22 points.
MarQuies Gray, Tight End, Buffalo Bills
This Gray hasn’t seen a lot of playing time, but that’s to be expected for someone who was a starting quarterback for years and is now a tight end. He also looked up to Peyton Manning since he grew up in Indianapolis.
I’ve been a quarterback all my life, he told Buffalo Bills.com That was the only thing I was comfortable with, Gray once said. “I was comfortable with the ball in my hand every play.”
In 2014, Gray didn’t have any touchdowns to his name, but he is determined to make Buffalo his last stop and settle down with that team. With Rex Ryan as the new head coach, you never know what can happen.
