This is what’s really keeping Cowboys’ athletic TE Rico Gathers from flourishing

Tight end Rico Gathers is a flashpoint for controversy among Dallas Cowboys fans these days.

The former Baylor basketball player has become a fan favorite because of his transition from basketball and seeming potential for big-time plays because of his size and athleticism.

Gathers offered another glimpse in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 21-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals when he jumped over a defender to haul in a pass from Mike White.

It was an example of a play that no other tight end on the Cowboys roster can make.
