Rico Gathers has yet to record his first NFL catch, but the former Dallas Cowboys practice squad standout has no doubt he's on a path to stardom.
Gathers, who made waves a couple years ago when he decided to pursue a football career after excelling in basketball at Baylor, is heading into his third year in the league. He got his feet wet on the Cowboys' practice roster as a rookie, while a preseason injury in 2017 derailed his sophomore campaign.
Saturday on Instagram, the 24-year-old said he believes he'll emerge from the bottom of the roster to become a household name:
Gathers' size and athleticism made him an intriguing prospect leading up to the 2016 NFL Draft. Despite not playing a snap of football in college, the Cowboys drafted him in the sixth round.
