Tight end MarQueis Gray has traveled an unconventional path en route to making the Miami Dolphins' 53 man roster. A four-star recruit out of high school, he signed on with the Minnesota Gophers, only to be kicked off the team due to discrepancies with his ACT scores. After he regained eligibility, Gray went on to be an “X Factor” for the Gophers, serving as their primary offensive weapon, playing wide receiver before transitioning to a dual-threat quarterback.
In his four collegiate seasons, Gray passed for 2,053 yards and 14 touchdowns, rushed for 1,731 yards and 12 touchdowns and caught 60 passes for 766 yards and six scores.
Gray went undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, but spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, the Cleveland Browns and the Minnesota Vikings before being claimed by the Bills in November of last season. The 6’4” 242-pound tight end quickly made himself known when he caught a 41-yard pass in his first game with the Bills against the Browns, who had released him just weeks prior.
One thing that was sorely missing in Miami's offense last year was an "X" factor, the miss-match- a position that was previously held by Charles Clay. I think MarQuies Gray could be the team' X factor this year. He's a freak of nature athlete who has played the RB,WR,TE and the QB positions. One would agree Dominique Jones had a better pre season but they prefer to go with Gray because they recognise his potentials. He was absolutely one of the best route running TE in camp, also a better receiver.
