There was a time when Rico Gathers was a name that had the word “potential” attached to it in a very positive way. Back in 2016, w hen the Cowboys took a shot on the basketball player in the sixth round of the draft, it was the kind of move that if it paid off would be thought of as genius. After all, basketball players had been made into tight ends with great success before, why not try it again? The Cowboys saw the perfect tight end body married with good athleticism and pulled the trigger.
