Cam Ward’s got to be happy after the Titans drafted Carnell Tate, the dynamic wideout out of The Ohio State University.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Stats & Accolades
-
2023: (13 games played), 18 receptions, 264 receiving yards, touchdown
-
2024: (15 games played, 15 starts), 52 receptions, 733 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns, CFP National Champion
-
2025: (12 games played, 12 starts), 51 receptions, 875 receiving yards, 9 touchdowns, First-Team All-Big Ten, Second-Team All-American
What the Titans are getting:
Tate plays bigger than his measurements and while he may not fit the mold of a true “X” receiver and a team’s WR1, he’ll provide an offense with a WR2 floor plus notable upside. He brings elite body control and physicality at the catch point with soft hands and a polish to his routes that will make him an immediate comfort target for a quarterback. Tate creates effortless separation over the middle and shows surprising burst to run under moonshots that seemingly looked out of reach from the start.
