Chargers Antonio Gates Signature

Antonio Gates redefined the tight end position on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2025. Undrafted out of college basketball, he became the Chargers' all-time leader in receptions (955), receiving yards (11,841), and touchdowns, and holds the NFL record for 116 career touchdown catches by a tight end. He notched 21 multi–touchdown games, tied an NFL record for tight ends with eight seasons of 8+ TDs, and helped turn the position into the modern offensive weapon it is today.
