In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Gates shared his thoughts on the Chargers’ potential championship run: “When you think about a Super Bowl-contending team, you think about your stars at the quarterback position.

And we’ve got one of the best in the league.” Gates was referring to Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who had an impressive rookie season and is expected to continue to improve.

Gates also praised the Chargers’ recent draft picks, which include TCU star receiver Quentin Johnston, USC edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu, and Washington State linebacker Daiyan Henley.

Gates said these acquisitions set the Chargers up nicely for a potential championship run this year. He added, “And then you talk about upgrading that defense … to me, those are recipes to winning a Super Bowl, man.”

Gates wasn’t quite as optimistic when asked about the Jets’ chances of winning the Super Bowl. Despite the recent acquisition of Aaron Rodgers, Gates expressed concern about the team’s chemistry and continuity.

He said, “You can have the right players — from a talent standpoint, you can have the best talent in the league. But if you haven’t the continuity or the chemistry, man, it doesn’t make a difference.”

Gates also discussed the tight end G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) debate, and he had some big praise for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

While he acknowledged that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was a dominant force during his prime, Gates said that Kelce’s consistency over the past few seasons puts him at the top of the list.

“I think Travis Kelce is probably the best tight end in the game right now,” Gates said. “When you look at what he’s done over the last few years, his numbers are off the chart.”

Gates’ comments show that he’s still very invested in the NFL, even though he retired from the game in 2019.

His insights into the Chargers’ and Jets’ Super Bowl chances and the tight end G.O.A.T. debate will generate interest and discussion among football fans.

With his experience and knowledge of the game, Gates is a valuable voice in sports commentary, and his perspective is always worth listening to.
