His career totals include 103 tackles (77 solo), five interceptions, 12 passes defensed and one sack in the regular season and eight tackles (seven solo) and a pass defensed in the playoffs.
In 2012, Gordy played in all 16 games with one start (at free safety vs. Cincinnati on Oct. 19). He totaled 26 tackles (21 solo), an interception and a fumble recovery at Cleveland on Dec. 7 and four passes defensed. Gordy also had two special teams tackles.

Gordy entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2010. He was waived at the end of training camp and signed two weeks later to the Green Bay Packers' practice squad. Gordy was promoted to the active roster and played in two late-season games.
