WR Edmond Gates visited the Ravens, Cowboys

Abilene Christian wide receiver Edmond Gates has visited the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

He has a visit with the Denver Broncos later this month.

Gates has previously worked out for the Cleveland Browns.

The 6-foot-1, 194-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds at the NFL scouting combine.

Gates is from the same school that produced Chicago Bears speedy wide receiver Johnny Knox.

As a senior, Gates caught 66 passes for 1,182 yards and 13 touchdowns and was named All-American and All-Lone Star Conference. Gates caught 49 passes for 702 yards and five touchdowns as a junior.

Gates turns 25 in June and had a rough childhood with his father serving time in prison for murder.

He's graded anywhere from the middle to later rounds by analysts.
