All-Pro Tight End for the San Diego Chargers, Antonio Gates was born on June 18, 1980 in Detroit, Michigan. At Kent State University, Gates spent two seasons as a Golden Flashes power forward where he led the team to the MAC championship and an Elite Eight spot in 2002 and to the MAC championship game the following season, during which he averaged 20.6 points per game, 4.1 assists, and 7.7 rebounds per game.
After being told by scouts that he was too much of a "tweener" at 6'4" to make the NBA, Gates arranged a workout in front of NFL scouts. As many as 19 teams were believed to have contacted Gates about a try out. Gates chose to work out first for the San Diego Chargers. Recognizing his enormous potential, the Chargers immediately signed him to a contract as an undrafted free agent.
On August 23, 2005, after holding out for a contract extension, Gates inked a six-year deal worth up to $24 million with the San Diego Chargers. Because of his holdout, Gates was suspended a total of three games, including the home opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Gates went on to have another stellar season, catching 89 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns, but the Chargers missed the playoffs by a slim margin.
In 2005 and 2006 Antonio Gates was selected as the NFL's All-Pro TE by the AP. Gates was the AP's only unanimous choice for 2005. Gates has made four consecutive Pro Bowls in his career and also holds the single season touchdown reception record for tight ends with 13. In 2005 Gates became only the second tight end in NFL history, behind Todd Christensen, to gain 1,100 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns in a single season.
