Green Bay Press Gazette

PINSON, Ala. — Authorities say a former Green Bay Packers player has been found shot to death in his home in Alabama.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office says former Packers defensive lineman Carlos Gray was found shortly before 10 p.m. Monday near Birmingham, Ala. The 25-year-old is a native of Pinson, Ala.

Gray, a defensive tackle, was signed by the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He was released after training camp when the team made final cuts to reduce its roster to 53 players, a team spokesman said Tuesday. He was not re-signed.

Al.com reports that sheriff’s deputies and Center Point Fire and Rescue were dispatched to the house after a friend found Gray wounded and unresponsive.
