J.T. Gray

J.T. Gray enters Year 9 as a 30-year-old Philadelphia DB with a stable dynasty score of 2.0, ranking 1631st at the position in Verdict’s dynasty rankings. He posted 0.1 missed tackle percentage in 2024, highlighting an ascending defensive profile with 0 pressures and 0 hurries on 0.1% missed tackles. Contenders should view him as a depth asset with defensive upside.

Gray’s stable defensive profile remains tied to his zone-heavy scheme under Vic Fangio, which emphasizes two-high shells and disguised coverages. The 0.1% missed tackle percentage on a modest 0 pressures and 0 hurries suggests a consistent tackling floor. A potential ceiling exists if his defensive production advances, but the sample size is limited.

Gray participated fully in practice across all injury checks in 2025, except Week 10, where he did not participate in practice. However, his position does not carry a high injury risk in terms of positional exposure.

Gray secured a 0% target share in 2025, reflecting a depth role in the Philadelphia secondary. The west coast spread system under Kevin Patullo and Nick Sirianni should preserve his defensive upside, but the opportunity for significant production remains limited.

Vic Fangio’s 3-4 scheme with a zone-heavy emphasis is well-suited for Gray’s tackling profile. The system prioritizes two-high shells and disguised coverages, which should allow Gray to make tackles without being overly exposed to contact.

Stable Gray’s 0.1 missed tackle percentage across 14 games in 2025 reflects a stable defensive profile, as does his 0 pressures and 0 hurries on the same sample size.

Ceiling clears 2025’s 0.1 missed tackle percentage if Gray advances his pressure and hurry rates past 0. The floor tracks near 0.1 given stable tackling and a zone-heavy scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
