With Elic Ayomanor a year ahead of him, and Calvin Ridley likely to get Ward's first read on most plays, Tate is likely to struggle against pro defensive backs — the kind he would have seen against the college teams listed above.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Ridley gets Ward's first read, limiting Tate's receiving opportunity as a secondary option.

Russell identifies Calvin Ridley as likely to get Cam Ward's first read on most plays in Tennessee's offense, positioning Ridley as the primary receiving target. This role advantage contributes to Russell's bearish outlook on Carnell Tate's receiving yards projection, as Tate will operate as a secondary option behind Ridley.
