Ah yes, the famous basketball player turned tight end experiment. It started with Antonio Gates, and hearing on every single broadcast how he used to play basketball, then it was Jimmy Graham, and hardcore Colts’ fans will remember Erik Swoope, who was supposed to become a key weapon for Andrew Luck (those were the good days). Then after that, it was Mo Alie-Cox who was supposed to be the next basketball player turned star tight end in the NFL.
As is usually the case with this type of players, MAC barely saw the field in his first season, but he did catch two touchdown passes, including a beautiful one-handed snag against the then Oakland Raiders for his first career touchdown.
