Antonio Gates didn’t even play college football and got drafted.

Try looking up Jordan Mailata’s college career

He was a lottery ticket. A guy who is 6’7, 250 pounds, that can move like that. Plus, he ran a 4.56. Defenses just didn’t know how to handle him on that Saints’ offense. You didn’t see guys that massive lined up in the slot too often.

Say the line!

Can’t remember the guys name but there’s a player who only played basketball in college that got drafted into the nfl. Believe he played for Washington? I can’t remember honestly

Wait until you hear about Jordan Mailata

Someone took a huge gamble on him. That’s kind of how every draft pick is after round 1.

Bruh, all these responses and no mention of playing with the most accurate QB of all time…

He was an athletic monster, for sure, but Payton also had Brees to help make things work. Jimmy wouldn’t have been anything without Drew.

You know all those times when a guy gets drafted with elite measurables and questionable skill and people berate their GM when it’s predictably a hard bust?

It’s because every now and then, that guy turns out to be Jimmy Graham.

He played Basketball 4 years and only had 42 less receptions than Kelce. It’s all about development and work ethic to get better

Measurables.

Also football is a sport where you can produce like a scrub or star depending on whatever coaching scheme you’re in.

Combine

502 rebounds.

Do you know how many football receptions TE Antonio Gates had at Kent State?

More like TE version of Matt Cassel since Trey Lance actually had stats in college.
