Jason Garrett on Rico Gathers: “I think he’s grown and developed as a tight end”

If you really don’t think that Rico Gathers impressed the Dallas Cowboys, just know that he made the 53-man roster the morning after he was arrested for marijuana possession.

Many wondered whether or not there was even a possibility that Gathers could impress the team, so the fact that that he could was a feat of its own, but the how he impressed them still needs answering.

Jason Garrett gave us a bit of clarity on that front during his Monday press conference. When asked in the past about Gathers before he’s said things that are typically more constructive towards the tight end, but on Monday he was more complimentary.
