Antonio Gates says Chargers are Super Bowl contenders, unsure of Rodgers throws
TMZSports.com
Antonio Gates LOVES his former team's Super Bowl chances - telling TMZ Sports he thinks the Chargers have a real chance of winning the Lombardi Trophy this year!!!
But, when it comes to Aaron Rodgers' Jets...the future Hall of Famer says he doesn't feel it as much.
The former Bolts tight end spoke with us for several minutes at LAX this week...and he made it clear he likes the way Los Angeles maneuvered around the draft last month.
In fact, he said he thinks the Chargers' pickups — which included TCU star receiver Quentin Johnston, USC point rusher Tuli Tuipulotu and Washington State linebacker Daiyan Henley - had them well prepared for a potential championship this year.< /p>

"When you think of a Super Bowl contender, you think of your stars at quarterback. And we have one of the best in the league," Gates said of Justin Herbert . "And then you talk about improving that defense...to me, those are recipes for winning a Super Bowl, man."
When it comes to one of the teams the Chargers should move to the AFC to make it to the Big Game, Gates doesn't seem to buy the hype in New York — despite the Jets' recent acquisition of Rodgers.
