Summary
From the Week 1 game against Texas, it was clear Tate returned to school a different player this fall. He became much more of a downfield weapon thanks to improved salesmanship as a route runner, and he simply stopped dropping passes. If you draft Tate, you won’t have to worry about whether he’ll be successful in the NFL
About
- 2025: Led FBS with 6 TD on throws of 30+ air yards
- 2025: Career highs in receiving yards (838) and receiving TD (9)
Strengths
- Effortless mover for his size.
- Massive wingspan relative to his height that translates to a large catch radius.
- Can flip his hips on comebacks in a hurry to present a target.
Weaknesses
- Lacks explosive twitch to leave defenders in the dust at the top of routes.
- Not a power player. Frame has room to grow but is still wiry.
- Production was nothing special over the course of his career.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.53 seconds

Titans' Carnell Tate: Added by Tennessee
The Titans selected Tate in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, fourth overall.
Tate (6-foot-2, 192 pounds) is the first wide receiver off the board and the new hopeful WR1 for Cam Ward. Perhaps Tate was not quite as dominant as teammate Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State, but Smith is fully expected to be the best wideout in the NFL at some point in his career, so there's no shame if Tate isn't quite on that level. Tate produced 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns on just 65 targets last year and won't turn 22 until January. Although Tate's 4.53-second 40-yard dash wasn't exciting, all it really means is that Tate won't be running go routes all day in the NFL. His speed is plenty functional enough to draw targets rapidly through the intermediate, and if he can land enough punches on those routes the big plays will occur in due time. Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson are likely locked in as the target leaders for the Titans in 2026, with the likes of Calvin Ridley, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor fighting for the scraps otherwise.
