    He wouldn’t just be giving it up, he’d be giving it up to get his shit rocked. Then he’d be giving up NFL money because it’s not guaranteed

      A lot of NFL money over the length of the contract can be guaranteed, especially for the 5, 6 year contracts. But you also have to be insanely good to demand that kind of contract, and only a few in the entire league are good enough.

      He’d also just not even make a team, so there’s that. He didn’t even play in high school, just Pop Warner which he gave up as a 10 year old. Won’t have a shot against guys who have been continuously playing organized football, studying playbooks, and specifically conditioning for football since they were kids.

          That’s pretty fucking insane wow. Did he just get picked up off the street? How do you even get a scout to look at you if you don’t play college?

            He set up a workout with NFL scouts and got signed as an undrafted free agent after playing bball in college. So… Basically, yeah?

              I dont understand, I googled Antonio Gates and the first thing that shows is that he played football in high school. Y’all made it seem like he had never played football and then just set up a workout and got signed

            Insane athlete, college basketball player but too small to play at the next level (for the type of player he was).
