Dallas Cowboys: Rico Gathers took hundreds of snaps at offensive tackle
http://thelandryhat.com/2017/03/02/...-takes-hundreds-of-snaps-at-offensive-tackle/



The Dallas Cowboys knew what they were getting into when they drafted former Baylor basketball star Rico Gathers with their final selection in the 2016 NFL Draft. Not having played organized football since junior high, Gathers was attempting to make the difficult leap from the hardwood to the field, on a professional level.

The Cowboys drafted Gathers in the sixth round (217th overall) with their eyes wide open, fully understanding that he was a developmental player. The then 22-year old’s amazing athletic ability was simply too impressive to ignore. Gathers spent his entire rookie campaign on the Cowboys practice squad.

Working on his own, with Dallas’ tight end coach and legend Mike Pope, who recently retired, and with the Cowboys new tight end coach Steve Loney; Gathers took as many reps as anybody did on the team in throughout the year according to head coach Jason Garrett...

I luuuuuu dis dude.

They aren't moving him to tackle, he was there because they needed bodies due to injury.

The plan is still very much for him to play TE.

Also to help him get more snaps at just blocking.

I have mixed emotions, every time I see "rico", I think Rico Suave (think '90's rapper?), and I throw up a lil bit in my mouth

Welp we can't move on until we move on from Witten.. probably one more season.

Wasted pick

Wasted pick

a 6th round pick with a chance to be 2nd TE or even starter is a wasted pick?
even if that is a 50% chance, that is a bargain by standard odds for 6th round picks.

Wasted pick

Wow not only is he going to make the 53 this year he will contribute. Considering when he was drafted thats pretty good.
