Cyrus Gray- RB

Cyrus Gray was with the Kansas City Chiefs for a handful of years when the AFC West rivals drafted him in the sixth round in the 2012 draft. He never got going with the Chiefs during his three years in Kansas City. He suffered a torn ACL in a regular season game against the Buffalo Bills in 2014 and was released early in training camp last season.

I have a feeling that Gray is mostly a training camp body to boost up some competition. I could see a situation in which he could be on the roster but only on special teams. I do not see Gray making the final cuts when September rolls around at the latest. If he does, I will be really surprised.

Next: Juwan Thompson
