Mel Gray began his career in the USFL for two seasons, and after that league folded, he joined the New Orleans Saints, who had chosen him earlier in a supplemental draft of USFL players. Gray would later join the Detroit Lions, and it was there where he would be named a four-time Pro Bowl Selection and was regarded as one of the best Return Specialists in the NFL. Gray would accumulate 13,003 Return Yards, and was the league leader in that category in the first three seasons of the 1990s. He would also be named a three-time First Team All-Pro.
