Tate's doubts mirror past receivers who proved skeptics wrong; production was earned.

Doubts circulating about Tate's game—that he's not a complete route runner or can't separate at a high level—echo the exact same narratives that were wrongly applied to other highly drafted receivers in recent years before they proved doubters wrong.
