After spending his first two seasons as a defensive back, his lone receptions of the season, five for 62 yards and a score, helped the run-heavy Tigers overcome #22 Texas A&M in Week 7 of his junior year. The offense was then assigned to him.
He was used as a running back and a receiver in his final season, and on just 49 touches, he scored four touchdowns. In addition, he had 11 tackles while playing special teams gunner.
Due to his underwhelming collegiate performance, Gage was not invited to the combine or any of the big award ceremonies. Gage, though, attracted notice following a successful Pro Day with coaches praising his work ethic.
Gage was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the 194th overall pick, four rounds after fellow wide receiver D. J. Chark from LSU.
Gage made his first career reception in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, going for six yards. He had a total of six receptions for 63 yards in 15 games as a rookie for a team with a strong receiving corps.
Gage scored his first receiving touchdown as a pro against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13 of the 2019 campaign.
After Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones, Austin Hooper, and Julio Jones, who are all headed to the Pro Bowl, Gage concluded the 2019 season with 49 receptions for 446 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown, placing him fourth on the team overall.
Jones’ seven-game absence due to injury and Hooper’s departure made Gage the 4-12 Falcons’ second-leading receiver in 2020. Gage’s breakthrough performance was in the team’s September 13 home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, a defeat in which he recorded 114 receiving yards on nine receptions.
Gage caught six passes for 46 yards and another touchdown in the next week’s 40-39 loss against the Dallas Cowboys.

Gage had a career-best season in terms of receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
Gage and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract on March 18, 2022.

In a defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14, he recorded his first career multiple-touchdown game.
Gage was carried off the field on January 16, 2023 after suffering a neck injury while playing the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
