On Saturday, one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as former San Diego and Los Angeles Chargers great Antonio Gates was welcomed into the fold on the hallowed grounds of Canton, Ohio.

Antonio Gates made history Saturday, becoming the first player without playing college football to earn induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Before he became an NFL record-holder for the Chargers and a Hall of Famer, Antonio Gates set the "tone" for his domination as a basketball player at Kent State.
