Carnell Tate hype train has officially left the station in Tennessee
Key Points:
- Rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate stood out during the Tennessee Titans' first open OTA practice, making several impressive plays and catching multiple touchdowns from quarterback Cam Ward.
- Tate, the Titans' No. 4 overall draft pick from Ohio State, showed strong chemistry with Ward, completing six receptions and three would-be touchdowns in a simulated hurry-up drill.
- In his final college season, Tate recorded 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns, with no drops, demonstrating reliable hands and a deep-threat capability.
- Tate is expected to start as the Titans' boundary receiver in Week 1, competing alongside established veterans Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley, as well as promising sophomores Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.
- With multiple OTA sessions remaining before the mandatory minicamp, Tate is poised to continue impressing the coaching staff and developing into a key offensive weapon for Tennessee.
