The star special teams ace was deservingly recognized for yet another stellar season.
New Orleans Saints S J.T. Gray was named to Pro Football Focus’ 2024 NFL All-Pro Team.

When the Saints signed a once-overlooked UDFA defensive back out of Mississippi State in 2018, I doubt they realized the hidden gem they had found. Gray has been one of the few bright spots in New Orleans over the past couple of seasons and has solidified himself as one of the best gunners in all of football.
The two-time All-Pro and one-time Pro Bowler finished his seventh professional campaign with a 91.3 overall PFF grade, while his 14 special teams tackles were tied for the most in the league.
I don’t expect this to be the last time Gray is recognized for his efforts throughout the 2024 season with the NFL’s AP All-Pro rosters soon to be released, though he was already snubbed of a Pro Bowl selection.
Interim HC and former special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi shared his thoughts on what he called a “robbery”:
“J.T. Gray should be First-Team All-Pro,”
