The careers of Austin Collie (concussion problems), and Anthony Gonzales (knee), appear to be over. The Colts were delighted Edmond Gates, a big play receiver was there in the third round for us. Thank God for us, he played for a non BCS school.
In the 2009 draft the Bears, took Johnny Knox from the same school. His first two years in the NFL, Knox has caught 96 passes for 1487 yards, and 10 touchdowns. We believe Gates should be at least as productive.
Gates has improved as a wide receiver every year. Last year as a senior, Gates reeled in 66 passes for 1182 yards and 13 touchdowns. Gates is a freakish athlete, at the combine Gates finished first among Wide Receivers in the Forty with a time of 4.37. Gates was also second in the broad jump, and his 40 inch vertical jump was good for fifth place.
