Antonio Gates Reflects On Legendary Career | LA Chargers

On this episode of Camera On, Hayley Elwood sits down with LA Chargers legendary tight end Antonio Gates to discuss his path to being inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame. Gates goes in-depth about his career and reflects on how he set himself apart coming into the NFL despite coming from a basketball background, how he used obstacles such as injuries to push himself to new levels of excellence, what it was like playing with quarterbacks Drew Brees and Philip Rivers, and what fueled him to become one of the best to ever do it.

Gate NO DOUBT is a first ballot HOF. LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates both made their position something special. Two legends and both flourished in the game. He deserves first ballot.

Stop Tony Gonzalez played at the same time same division and was better more consistent and more special!

@@Maxturnbull24 Man nobody talking about Tony Gonzalez. Obviously he's a legend. This is an Antonio Gates video. Go elsewhere with your half glass empty mentality.

​@@Maxturnbull24 what the hell does Tony Gonzales have to do with this? This is an absolutely bizarre thing to post.

Rivers to Gates, touchdownnn San Diegoooo

[@ezshottah3732]

Mr. Gates thank you for all the childhood memories of watching you and the greats in San Diego 🖤

[@Boltslakers]

Man, when Gates started naming all those OGs at 10:38. I miss these players 😢

[@ThePhrenik]

So many good memories watching him. On third downs, you knew Gates would get open and it was going to him and defenses still had trouble covering him.

[@tharaskol5058]

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS!!!

[@hagop184]

As a fan of the team whenever they first began transitioning to LA. I never got to experience the glory days of SD, but I know deep down we are the San Diego Chargers.

[@reginawillis5312]

Always SD...😊

[@bam92027]

Disgusting to hear Spanos say Los Angeles Chargers. Gates will always be a San Diego Chargers player.

[@turtle19dad]

The feeling is mutual Antonio!!!! SD ❤ 85!!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@todaywaspretty6309]

I remember all 4 of those tight end names.. josh Norman 83, Justin Peele 84, Stephen Alexander 80 and Ryan Krause 89.. that was my 2nd year watching the Chargers. I remember Marty saying in training camp Gates had the best hands on the team and he was a UDFA wearing #43 at the timr

[@BigRichG]

I started watching football and became a Chargers fans in '05, This man was a monsters among men, he could beat double coverage not with speed but by breaking ankles and it would look so effortless. Just hearing Rivers to Gates every Sunday brought me chills. You knew if those guys were out there we had a chance to win. Gates is the golden standard when it comes to Chargers and NFL players, to go from undrafted to having a HoF career, its something special. He should be a first ballet HoF.

Love this retrospective on Antonio Gates. His story is unique, coming from basketball and transferring those tactical skills to football. A principled and tenacious person. Congratulations Mr.Gates. I notice that all teammates shown look so big but not out-of-shape fat. Wonder if McDonalds et al was not as prevalent then.

[@Truckinglife303]

One of the reasons why i grew loving the chargers thank you 🙏🏽

[@reginawillis5312]

I miss these Chargers! All those ole school player names.

[@CrackpotSports]

Without Question, one of the greats to play for The San Diego Chargers, Loved watching Gates go from an unknown to one of the best ever

[@timothys.wilson1467]

Hi, my name is Timothy, I think Antonio Gates would make a great Receiver coach for the Chargers he played with would be Amazing. GO CHARGERS GO.

[@thecarolinanativejxann8450]

The G.O.A..T of his position undoubtable this man in the air was a security blanket

2nd to comment..Gates is disrespected as one of the greatest TEs of ALL TIME

[@franksmith6583]

Bro you the man but you could’ve just did two more years congratulations to you

🐐

[@zechariahcameron3645]

Sucks that he this wasn't in San Diego!

[@JRdubs]

We’re a team

[@bakersfieldrap661]

I hope they don’t use his 2015 ped suspension to keep out his first time eligible

[@strykrpinoy]

People love Marty as a coach, but he is also the reason why Brees got hurt an ultimately left all because he threw a tantrum that his son wouldn't be promoted to OC.

[@zechariahcameron3645]

I hated them as a Broncos fan. That's why I don't get why we hate the Chiefs so much. It stokes the rivalry more when he talks about beating Denver lol.

[@OriginalOne1960]

Los Angeles battle Chargers The true original L.A. born team now back playing in the original birthplace L.A. 🐴⚡️🏈 And the true original Southern California NFL team have never left Southern California unlike the Cleveland/ ST.Louis Rams and Oakland/ Las Vegas Nevada Raiders.

[@Still_San_Diego_Productions]

Please tell management to make a trade for Tyson Campbell, cornerback from Jacksonville, then try to select a wr in the draft, malek nabers or if a slide get Marvin Harrison. Or maybe even Brock bowers.Then you no longer need to waste a pick on kool aid mckinstry with more holes on the roster. I know you don’t want to believe it but Quinton Johnston isn’t looking good and Allen is 32 next year and Mike Williams is no longer as good as he was, and he is getting old fast. Please consider it and also try to bet bellichek or Jim hargbaugh. Pls consider this I have spent 3 hours trying to help out my favorite team in some way.

[@TeamMajin]

Took long enough

[@ramiroheredia7]

I asked a question to A friend what is better win a superbowl or be a HOF ?
