That's why I said Gates was really the first of his kind. So you can't say there won't be another Gates... because there has only been one.

That's like saying there will never be another Bronko Nagursky. I mean, how do we even know? The RB position has evolved light years since then; Just like the TE position is evolving every year, because of Gates.

I didn't mean another TE like Gates, they're will be plenty of players with a similiar style. I highly doubt there will ever be another player to come out of college basketball though. Really can't see another non-college football playing basketball player coming into the NFL and dominating like Gates is.

Well shit, LOL, any power forward in college is being picked up to try out at TE. Throw enough shit at the wall, eventually it will stick.

So who does everyone see as contenders for next year?
