I'd have to disagree. I don't think there will ever be another TE coming out of the Gates mold. I think it was kind of a fluke thing. Maybe if a guy played both football and basketball at like a small college then maybe. I just don't see any of these other guys coming up and being a real succesful football player. I'd rather take an average WR, have him put on some weight and become a TE (USC is currently doing that with Fred Davis, moved him to TE as soon as he got into camp after being a WR in high school and it is working wonders)
