For his Tar Heel career, Tate finished with 46 receptions for 927 yards and eight touchdowns along with 26 carries for 316 yards (12.2 yards per carry) and two touchdowns.
Skill Set:
Heading into the 2008 season Tate was considered one of the top return men available in the draft, with some scouts giving him a late first/early second round grade. Tate flashed his elusiveness and playmaking skills en route to establishing an NCAA record for combined kick return yardage and was also translating his playmaking ability to the receiver position prior to tearing his ACL and MCL six games into his senior season.
