Capable of playing outside or in the slot, Tate led all starting receivers last season in Pro Football Focus metrics such as forced missed tackles, yards after the catch per reception and punt-return efficiency. His counting numbers have been artificially deflated in the NFL's run-heaviest offense. Everything Edelman is billed to do well, Tate does better. There's some Hines Ward to his game.
Douche or not he is as dangerous as it gets in the open field. If teams double team Johnson and leave Tate one on one in the open field you can bet he will take quite a few short easy completions and turn them into big gains. Double teaming Johnson just became a lot more dangerous. If Bush has another good year in him and the Lions OL has another good year,mand their offense is going to be scary even with a shitty QB.
