Antonio Gates has been a mentor to wide receiver Kennan Allen since the start. Gates says he really likes him as a player on and off the field and looks at him as a leader. That is saying a lot considering Gates is the captain of the team. Allen just signed a 4 years contract to stay with the Chargers. This is great news for the Chargers considering Allen is one of the top wide receivers in the game right now. He is expected to put up big numbers this year and is also expected to become a team leader and hopefully a captain one day. Others players even say that Allen is a great man on and off the field and they all look up to him. Allen says he is very humbled and honored to be able to be looked at as a leader on the team. The Chargers need more players like Allen in order to help their team to win and have more structure. Allen also talked about how he has encouraged other players on the Chargers to take a leadership role.
Allen also talks about how he has unfinished business. He mentions that with the new contract signing that he needs to step up his game to show his team and also himself that he is worthy of all of the money that he received in his new contract. He says this is a big year for him and he can't wait for the new season.
