Does anyone have Gates' fastest 40 time? I see that he ran a 4.37 at the combine, but Mike Wallace ran a 4.34 and there is record saying his fastest ever was 4.22. I wonder if Gates ever got into the 4.2s.
 
I think that Gates will be non-factor unless he is used on kickoffs. He might catch a bomb or two but I think his impact in the passing game will be limited. Could he have a Mike Wallace type year? (39 cth, 756 yds, 6 td). Maybe. He was also catching balls from B Roth and had the luxury of a solid ground game and holmes, ward, and miller drawing coverage. He had better rookie numbers than roddy white, reggie wayne, santana moss, brandon marshall, greg jennings. The next tier up is inhabited with the likes of larry fitzgerald, calvin johnson, andre johnson, dwayne bowe, percy harvin.

My stats for him are a max of 20 catches, 350 yards and 2 touchdowns.
 
Gates but I'm intrigued by Grigsby as well because I think Reggie Bush will get hurt, which will mean Grigsby gets called up to do some damage in Reggie-like roles. And I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
 
I like the speed guy that gives us solid field position as a returner in special teams. I could care less the name/number on the jersey. Just do it.
 
If Gates becomes the next Mike Wallace, Henne better learn to use his damn arm.
 
Henne. Seeing as he will constantly have to evade defenders coming off the right side if Columbo is starting week 1.
 
Grigsby. I think he's a weapon if he can get on the field. Let's start running the wishbone formation with Thomas, Bush and Grigs....okay, just kidding. If Grigsby can work on his blocking to pick up the blitz, it's very likely he makes the roster.
