Tate is a high-IQ, alignment-versatile WR who excels as a technician rather than an explosive athlete. His smooth route-running and mental processing against man and zone coverages allow him to separate in the intermediate areas. He thrives in a WR2/slot hybrid role in timing-based or West Coast passing schemes. Though he lacks elite vertical speed, his dependable hands, excellent ball-tracking, and body control make him a QB-friendly target, especially in layered concepts.
