During DallasCowboys.Com Cowboys Break, Steve Eatman asked
Will McClay about Rico Gathers and everything sounds very promising.
McClay even went on to say, “We can’t stop him”. And Rico/Romo were going against 1st teamers in byron jones, church and heath.
So his passcatching was called "unstoppable" against 1st teamers, but yet there are people who claim Rico is nothing special? That was in 2017, so people seriously now think he 'forgot' how to be unstoppable???

furthermore, Broaddus said during
an episode of The Draft Show this week. “I will say this. I had people come up to me and say, cause I was always curious about Rico [Gathers], I had people come up to me and say ‘You ought-of seen what [Tony] Romo did with him today, ... Cause
Romo was with him on scout team. And Romo just kept throwing him the ball because he was so much bigger.
He was battling [Barry] Church, he’s battling [Byron] Jones, he’s battling [J.J.] Wilcox and [Jeff] Heath.
The kid just kept making plays. The problem is not the athletic ability, it’s the mental side…he just hasn’t played football”
here is a video of a Mcclay gushing about Rico.
