No clue, but I gotta think that this staff doesn't make weight training optional... that may have been the case with previous regime (at least that seems to be what I heard on this site) but this staff doesn't strike me as one that would allow that...I think Gates is an excellent player but whenever I see a picture of his arms it makes me wonder if he does any weight training. His upper arms show no definition or size. Anyone know if he goes in the weight room?
Definition does not always equal strength.
Honestly, what you should look for in lineman is leg strength, getting lower than your opponent for leverage, and good feet/balance/agility/nimble. Obviously upper body strength is important, but to be able to get leverage on your opponent and to be able to dominate them with your legs should be #1 IMO.

Each position requires a different S & C program to maximize the abilities they have and need for that given position and injury avoidance. I am sure we can obtain his power / performance rating from the mods.I think Gates is an excellent player but whenever I see a picture of his arms it makes me wonder if he does any weight training.

This is Magnus Ver Magnussen...possibly the greatest competitor in the history of the World Strongman Competition and he was(is) 6'3" and 287 lbs. He would not stand out physically in the OL room at Nebraska.

Does he have any eligibility left??
How about those round stones they had to lift up on to a flat surface? Each one got heavier, each platform got higher. They did some wicked stuff.I used to watch him all the time when I was in high school!! I loved watching the Strong man competitions!
Yup. He has long arms for his height.I think his long arms make it look like this, too
