    The San Diego Chargers' eight-time Pro Bowl tight end was left off NFL Network's list of The Top 100 Players of 2012, and this does not sit well with him. Five tight ends made the list, voted on by NFL players. He sees his omission as a slap in the face. 'TOP 100' LIST: Packers' Rodgers voted NFL's No. 1 player by peers "I want to prove that I'm still the guy at this position, still the guy who can dominate this position, still the No.1 tight end in the NFL," Gates told USA TODAY Sports this week. "I've come in with a chip on my shoulder. I've heard things people said, talking about other players at this position. But to discredit what I can do, I take it personally."
