Carnell Tate<\/a>, a junior at The Ohio State University<\/a> from Chicago, Illinois, has quickly made a name for himself as one of college football\u2019s premier receivers. Known for his polished route running and exceptional football IQ, Tate\u2019s impact goes far beyond his mental game. His reliability as a pass-catcher is unmatched\u2014he tracks the ball with precision and uses his impressive catch radius to secure every target thrown his way. Although he has his share of weaknesses, none of them come close to outweighing his strengths. Tate is a prospect that should be in a system that values technique and nuance over pure athleticism.<\/p>\n
