Gathers looking to become more than just a CZ legend

[CooterBrown]

How many articles can be written about an UDFA who hasn't taken a regular season snap? You'd think he was the next Gavin Escobar the way he gets hyped.

Since Gathers was drafted, who are you talking about?

Excuse me, I meant PRACTICE SQUAD PLAYER--the other form of NFL marginality.

 

[viman96]

Nah. I meant CZ. We tend to roast prospects much harder than actual reality.

You are right about that! And both Gathers and Smith are somewhat legends in CZ before doing anything in a game. I hope for both their sakes, they produce at a high level. If not there will be a ton of threads running them into the ground filled with, "I told you so", and "I knew they would suck".

Hes the #2 TE right now. I'll go on record & say he makes the final 53. That's all y'all need to know. Follow the link for the rest.

The Rico Act is about to unleashed on the NFL

 

[Gameover]

I'll be shocked if he's as good a blocker as Swaim(#87).. one of the best players on this team

The reason Rico will contribute is his blocking. Escobar didn't have the body or mentality for it.
His catching is already established. His route running I don't know or haven't heard about.

Is Rico the biggest TE in the league (actual TE, not OL playing TE) ?

Gronk is 265.
MartyB is 275.
Rico has been reported to be 280 to 290.

When he gets the mental part it's on.

Rico seems to have all the physical qualities, work ethic and overall talent to become a Cowboys legend worthy of fame and fortune.

The main things he appears to be lacking at this point is simply the development and experience invested to qualify himself as such.

Hope he gets it and proves it in training camp, think this guy is going to be real good.

Doubt it for Rico, considering his path. If Jaylon doesn't live up to the hype though, he's going to need to live in the mountains as a hermit.

 

[cowboyblue22]

wow have they measured him for his gold jacket yet sounds like they should be soon

 

[Bleu Star]

Check the blocking work at 2:53.

What a steal if he is!

The next great thing

Well he wasn't an undrafted free agent for one....

No, just a practice squad player who couldn't crack the 53 last year and hasn't taken a snap in a meaningful game. Forgive me. Its hard to keep track of all the marginal guys CZ is ready to put into Canton. I think the UDFA is Jahad Thomas or some such person....

Jees, some take upside evaluation of a player to the extreme over sensitive.
I love seeing bottom feeders fighting for snaps, nothing extreme about wanting to see what Rico can prove in camp.
