At that time they definitely had some great ends. Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten and Jeremy Shockey were great. Shannon Sharpe was still in the league.

For the most part, the narrow ends were usually used as auxiliary options and generally did not play a major role in crimes.

Gates played an important role in the change of this.

Between 2004 and 2011, the Kent State product made eight appearances for Pro Bowl appearances and also achieved three all-pro selection options for the first team on the way.

During his 16-year NFL career, he achieved a few 1,000 yard campaigns and over 1,100 meters in each of these seasons.

Now the 44-year-old is immortalized forever in Canton.
