Cam Ward’s got to be happy after the Titans drafted Carnell Tate, the dynamic wideout out of The Ohio State University.

2023: (13 games played), 18 receptions, 264 receiving yards, touchdown

2024: (15 games played, 15 starts), 52 receptions, 733 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns, CFP National Champion

2025: (12 games played, 12 starts), 51 receptions, 875 receiving yards, 9 touchdowns, First-Team All-Big Ten, Second-Team All-American

Tate plays bigger than his measurements and while he may not fit the mold of a true “X” receiver and a team’s WR1, he’ll provide an offense with a WR2 floor plus notable upside. He brings elite body control and physicality at the catch point with soft hands and a polish to his routes that will make him an immediate comfort target for a quarterback. Tate creates effortless separation over the middle and shows surprising burst to run under moonshots that seemingly looked out of reach from the start.

Strong contested catch ability despite being sub-200 pounds

Knows how to act late on go balls to shield defender away from catch point

Has trouble working through press on lengthier cornerbacks

Gives tells in route-running with rising pad level prior to breaks
