The Dallas Cowboys face all kinds of questions heading into the 2018 offseason, but among those near the very top is this: Where is Rico Gathers?
The 6’8” and 275-pound tight end out of Baylor University was sixth round draft pick of the Cowboys in 2016. Having focused on basketball in college, Gathers was a clear project for the NFL, which explains why he essentially red shirted his first year out of school.
But then came 2017 and the expectation that this heir apparent to Jason Witten, or any other tight ends on the roster, would get on the field following a year spent as an understudy.
