Lots of noise about TE Mike Gesicki joining the Pats. BOB at Penn St. won the recruiting battle against Urban Meyer for Gesicki.
From an article in 2013
Gesicki, Penn State’s all-time pass catcher at tight end, was at the Senior Bowl in 2013 as a member of the North team. O’Brien, the head coach the NFL’s Houston Texans, was in town with his staff to coach the South team.
After Wednesday’s team practices were completed, the two spent some time together. On business. Reunited again, and to Gesicki — who finished his PSU career, with 129 catches for 1,481 yards and 15 TDs to go along with back-to-back 11-win seasons — it felt so good.
‘It was cool meeting with Coach O’Brien,’ said the characteristically upbeat Gesicki, a grin on his face as we chatted at the Senior Bowl HQ on Friday. ‘Obviously, I had the opportunity to get to know him during the recruiting process, and committed to him, and had those meetings back when I was in high school.
==================
He was franchise tagged for 2022 but Mike McDaniel's system doesn't include the TE so Gesicki wanted out. Miami Chris Grier said he had earned his right to be a FA.
A reunion with BOB could work very well.
