Reuben Gant
Reuben Charles Gant is an American former professional football player who was a tight end in the National Football League (NFL) for the Buffalo Bills. He played college football at Oklahoma State University. He is regarded as a draft "bust" as he never lived up to the billing after Buffalo used a first round pick on him in the 1974 NFL Draft. His best season came in 1977 when he recorded 41 catches for 646 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He became the team's full-time starter at tight end the following season.
