Ricardo Darnell Gathers (born January 7, 1994) is an American rapper and former professional football tight end.
At the end of the season, he received All-Big 12 Conference, honorable-mention All-American and Big 12 All-Defensive Team honors.
[5] Gathers was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round (217th overall) of the 2016 NFL draft,[7] based on the potential he showed during his pre-draft workout.
However, he suffered a concussion in the preseason, and was placed on the injured reserve on September 4, which made him eligible to return in week 8 at the earliest.
[14] In 2018, the Cowboys made the unconventional move of keeping him as the fourth tight end to avoid losing him to waivers, even though he was arrested on the eve of cuts for marijuana possession.
[15] He was the fourth-string tight end behind Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin and rookie Dalton Schultz.
On June 14, 2019, it was announced that Gathers was suspended for the first game of the season, after violating the NFL's policy and program on substances of abuse.
