Rico Gathers making big strides for Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers says he feels his game is "a thousand times better" than during his rookie offseason.
What It Means:
A former power forward for Baylor basketball, Gathers flashed during his rookie preseason and then on the scout-team offense with quarterback Tony Romo in late-season practices. Inside the locker room, 6-foot-6, 290-pound Gathers has earned the nickname "Zeus," while ex-tight end coach Mike Pope reportedly told Gathers he would "one day become a Pro Bowl tight end." Jason Witten is now 35 years old.
Witten earned the ninth-fewest Reception Net Expected Points per target in 2016 among the 43 tight ends with at least 30 targets.
