Golden Tate's skill set aligns best with a West Coast timing offense, emphasizing quick reads, precise routes, and generating YAC.
Year 1: immediate contributor as a complementary receiver with punt return duties; Ceiling: high-volume Slot WR with significant YAC production.
A vertical-heavy, deep-shot oriented passing game that doesn't prioritize short-to-intermediate routes would diminish his effectiveness.
His explosive agility and playmaking after the catch make him a dangerous weapon in an offense that schemes him short-to-intermediate targets.
Selected #60 overall in Round 2 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Seattle Seahawks out of Notre Dame.
