PHOENIX - Rattler wide receiver/defensive back Randy Gatewood has been named "Ironman of the Week" by the Arena Football League.

Gatewood (6-0, 185 pounds), who is in his 11th season in the AFL, made an impact on both sides of the ball during the Rattlers 51-49 win against the Nashville Kats on Saturday night. Offensively, he caught 8 passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, he recorded three and a half tackles, two interceptions and a pass break up.
