Everett Carlton Gay (born October 23, 1964) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played college football at the Texas Longhorns.
Gay attended Phillis Wheatley High School, where he was a basketball star. He earned the nickname "Little Glide" because of his acrobatic dunks while playing basketball with Clyde Drexler, Akeem Olajuwon and Moses Malone at the Fonde Recreation Center during the summer.
To avoid extra conditioning work, he went out for football as a senior and had a standout season. He also practiced track.
