Tate WR North Carolina # |
| Ht:
6'0
Wt: 180
| |
| Strengths: |
| Adequate height. Decent speed. Good
route runner; consistently gains separation. A consistent deep threat. Can be
a playmaker after the catch. Experienced on punt and kick returns. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Lacks the bulk to
be a physical receiver. Doesn't offer much as a blocker. Didn't really emerge
until his senior year (but didn't have consistent quarterback play either). Still
very raw, but has showed improvement. Suffered a torn ACL and MCL in October,
2008 and missed the remainder of the season. |
| Comments:
|
| Tate's stock was soaring
this past season until he suffered a serious knee injury which ended his college
career. It will be difficult to justify taking him before the 4th round as result
of the injury, but his potential as a return man makes him a fairly safety pick
in the mid rounds of the draft. |
