He still needs to grow a bit mentally. He still makes too many mental errors (football IQ) and plays too out of control (emotional maturity). Too many times, the officials and opposing team get inside his head to the detriment of the Cowboys.

Granted, some of the flags thrown his way were ticky-tack or otherwise questionable. But, too often, he lets it take him out of his game and he either commits more penalties or plays even more out of control. He needs to get better at harnessing his tools and focusing his energy/anger.

Anae had the same issues and now has been cut. If Gregory is to deserve the big bucks, he needs to keep working on his craft and minimizing the opportunities for the refs to flag him for playing out of control.

That being said, I hope he and the team can come to terms on a reasonable deal. The team has had his back more times than most teams would bother with, even for a 2nd round pick. Heck, we've seen teams ditch 1st rounders for far less (C. J. Henderson?).
