| | | Antonio Gates, who has more touchdowns than any player at his position through the first 93 games of his career and could well be headed to the Hall of Fame, finally looks like a tight end. With the injury, I was in the weight room, Gates said, smiling and shrugging. I wanted to make myself a football player. Rehabbing a badly sprained ankle this spring, he figured he might as well work on his upper body. Once he started seeing results (aesthetically as well as in increased strength) he was even more motivated. The result is a leaner, chiseled Gates. I've never been strong in the weight room, said Gates, always a little more pudgy than sculpted. I've been a naturally big guy. Source: San Diego Union-Tribune | | |
