Antonio Gates
From Bolts from the Blue
Gates’ rise to football greatness and NFL immortality is a pretty amazing story – which we’ve all heard dozens of times.
There are times, even to this day, that you see the rawness, and you recognize the fact that he wasn’t raised and groomed as a football player. I guess it’s a lot like a young prodigy who’s just so damn good at some artistic endeavor that it defies the training and seasoning that so many others go through.
What’s undeniable about Gates is his incredible athleticism for a man his size. Gates may not look like he runs fast at times, but there’s a smoothness to his running style that defies the standard Kiperistic ratings and review.
