He's got nothing on Rico!! Lol

When Rico last played in a real football game, Shaq had just won his last NBA Championship.

I once heard the late great Hank Stram, former SB winning coach at KC tell a story from around 1970 about former NBA Superstar Wilt Chamberlain showing up to watch some Chiefs practices at training camp. Stram asked Wilt if he was willing to be timed in the 40 and to go through some drills.

The 7’1”, 265 lb Chamberlain supposedly ran a 4.5 and with his gigantic hands, caught everything thrown at him. Stram wanted Wilt to be signed by the Chiefs as a TE and FG blocking specialist. Stram said that Wilt was the best athlete he ever saw in any sport. Wilt ultimately chose not to sign, but Stram said if he wanted to, Wilt Chamberlain could have been a HOF football player.

Shaquille O’Neil was also an incredible athlete for his size. IMO, the world’s best male athletes are NBA players. That doesn’t always mean they can play football though...as in Rico Gathers.

So they signed 6'10" TE Morris Stroud instead. I remember him lining up in front of the goal post trying to block long fg attempts.

We need him at DT more.

He could play nose tackle and take out the center and both guards!
