and other school site pages

 

Seem to be a Willis type of runner who could go into same holes when in for relief as opposed to a change-of-pace back.

 

Player Bio (only lists career until 2003)

He does have some speed which is good for he will need to play on special teams.

 

Those who want to B word about Donahoe's picks will have plenty of ammo for he did not play as full time back due to decision by coaches to do RB by committee.

Gates sacrificed personal success for that of the team during his career at Louisville. Has the ability to start for most college teams, but performed capably for the Cardinals while sharing time with Henry Miller, Eric Shelton and Michael Bush in his four seasons at the school. He is the cousin of former Clemson Tigers and Cleveland Browns linebacker Rahim Abdullah.

He played Spring football and I do not know if that is good for us or not; Anybody watch Spring Football?

This baffles me. For a guy that is 225 lifting this much weight. He must be a gym rat! Monster huh? He power lifts as much if not more than some linemen! Anyone else notice this?
