Rico Gathers video

[keds]

Nice video showing Rico's athleticism, looks like a great developmental prospect...

LOVE this pick.

This was posted a couple of weeks ago but it was cool to see it again. He's an interesting prospect, for sure.

 

[mattjames2010]

If he ends up like Julius Thomas, I think we could all live with that.

 

[keds]

If these high SPARQ score guys we drafted the last two years can actually play football we'll have something to look forward to..

 

[keds]

What's impressive about Rico physically is his massive wingspan and hand size and he definitely has the thick lower body to handle the NFL...

 

[Tenkamenin]

I hope he has the drive of Antonio Gates because we've see many talents come and go.

Jerry's chance at redemption for wasting a decade of 2nd round picks on tight ends... LOL...

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Rico is the man, great pick up....

Rip Hank the Bank....

 

[xvendettax914]

Red zone? Chuck it up let Rico get the rebound. I honestly don't see how that's defensible shy of pass interference.

 

[SHAMSzy]

Man I wanna get excited but I'll wait to see him in preseason

 

[waving monkey]

I like this pick. As Pope said he is no magical worker but...

But this isn't a Jerry pick, right?

That sports science is a nice video and their rankings are cute but until you see him get hit it all means very little.

That's the key. Can he handle contact and work like witten

 

[Cumart21]

He'll be working with one of the best in Witten, not that it helped those before him. If he pays attention, he'll learn how to be a real pro. Gotta find a way to use him, which I'm not sure this offensive staff is very good at. We shall see.

 

[Aven8]

What's funning is David Irving's wingspan is 87" 3/4 almost 4" more than him! Crazy!

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

They should easily be able to integrate him into the red zone short yardage offense.

I wonder if he doesn't work out at TE if they would try a position switch along the lines of Parnell...OT anyone?

 

[Spectre]

I hope he has the drive of Antonio Gates because we've see many talents come and go.

This guy Gathers doesn't have the coordination to play NFL football.
All that weight & height comes at a cost. These Sports Science pieces are laughable.
Sorry but, it's a disgrace to mention this guy's name in the same sentence as. A. Gates.

LOVE this pick.

Yeah, as long as he learns how to catch, run routes, and block. Minor things for a tight end.
