Rico Gathers wants to eventually replace Jason Witten

We might be best off giving him a chance this year. There are 3 very good TEs - Howard, Njoku, Engram - in this draft that we'd need to take with our 1st round pick (if any of them are still on the board) if we want them. But there are also a lot of DEs and DBs who we might be better off spending our first two picks on instead. Perhaps we take a chance on a guy like Butt in the 3rd round and let him red shirt this year. Or maybe we'd be better off drafting defense this year and going TE next year if Gathers doesn't prove himself this year.

Man, l hope the Cowboys go Defense early and often. Howard,Njoku and Engram are fine players but l will be sick to my stomach if the FO drafts one of them in the first round.
 
I have no idea how Rico will look in training camp but I do know he is marketing machine. He is everywhere this off season.

I take it as confidence and I think many players have confident attitudes
The key for Rico is between the ears. Great athlete but has to learn to be a great player. If he puts in the work the sky is the limit

"This year is the year to come out and take over and show Rico Gathers is the heir apparent to Jason Witten. That’s how I feel, honestly.” HMMM. SPEAKS OF HIMSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON. VERY CONFIDENT. AND HE USES THE WORD 'HONESTLY.' IS HE USUALLY NOT HONEST????

"I went from a person who was completely oblivious about a situation to a person who feels like an animal,” Gathers said. CRYPTIC AND VERY ADAM JONES ....

"I feel like this could be my breakout year ...

AND GIVE HIM MARKS FOR ORIGINALITY AND PRESCIENCE.

GOOD LUCK, LAD! BUT DOES WITTEN KNOW HE IS ABOUT TO GET RUN OVER?????

Does Gathers seem like a plodder to anyone? I'll be interested to see if he plays a little faster this year as he's more comfortable with the sport.

Plodder? That defines Witten....."Can't anybody cover the slow *** white guy?"

The play that showed Gathers is capable of playing in the NFL occurred in the Cowboys’ final preseason game.

Prescott rolled out and threw a pass to Gathers in the flat. Gathers turned his body to catch the ball and did a half cartwheel, using his left hand as a base. He regained his balance and immediately cut right, avoiding two defenders.

He ran through another tackle before being tackled after an 8-yard gain.

“That play right there gave me confidence going forward,” Gathers said. “Making my first catch, taking some blows and knocking some people over. That’s when I knew I was ready to be a football player.”

Now it’s about moving up the depth chart.

That was Showers throwing the pass.
