It’s far from a secret to anyone that frequents this establishment that I’ve been the resident conductor of the ‘Nick Gates Train’ for quite some time now. While examining the litter of New York Giants potential young developmental offensive lineman over the past two years, Gates stood out to me as a technician in pass protection, with the major slights on him being athleticism concerns.
Gates was a solid three-year starter at Nebraska during his college career, and left early for the draft after his Junior season due to yet another coaching change going down after a Third-Team All Big Ten selection.
