Carnell Tate is a high-IQ, versatile wide receiver who’s firmly in the WR1 conversation because the translatable traits consistently appear on tape—elite route-running, natural separation, and a QB-friendly catch profile in the intermediate areas. In 2025, he turned 61 targets into 51 receptions for 875 yards and 9 touchdowns, demonstrating high-end efficiency even while missing time. A major storyline during the NFL Combine will be his arm length and wingspan, as those measures consistently show up at the catch point, expanding his strike zone and enabling him to win late in the rep. He may not have true burner speed, but his ball tracking, body control, and contested-catch reliability place him firmly in the early Day 1 NFL Draft conversation.
