Gabe is certainly one of the most enigmatic draft picks of the Beane era. Had games in which he dominated, and long stretches in which you wondered if he was on the field. A lot of nagging lower body injuries that probably affected him more than we know. Never turned into that reliable 2nd guy who could make a contested catch for a 1st down when you needed it.
By all accounts a great guy loved by his teammates and coaches. A willing and able blocker. We’ll never forget the KC performance in the playoffs and the Pittsburgh game — but that is also the problem. There aren’t enough of those types of memories.
I really do wish him best of luck. I’m sure we’ll have the “Gabe update” threads around here by both those who loved and hated him.
