Auden Tate building on from last year

But for a, 7th RD WR to make a roster he has to a certain skillset that is unique and in some cases cannot be
Coached.
Auden Tate was buried by Lewis while other stiffs like Cody Core were dropping passes.
And all he is done is put his down grind and get better.
He has the kind of character that ZT is looking for in order to redine the culture.
Can anyone tell how many recent 7th RD WRs averaged 14 yds a catch and coverted 72.5 % of their catches for
1st downs.?  Yeah he is one of Burrows go to guys in training camp. He is for a reason.
Cause Joe Burrow has faith and trust in him. And for a young QB to have success he has to have trust and
Confidence when that ball comes out of his hands. Cause if he doesnt then thats longer he stands in the
Pocket and the clock ticks away to a defensive player winning his battle and wrecking the play.
Sorry for you Cody Core fans who Tate outplayed
Tate is part of the culture change.

I'm not a Core fanboy, but he outproduced Tate in every statistical category in '18.  Core wasn't good, but Tate was abysmal.  Now, rookie WR usually take a year to adjust so I don't really hold that against Tate's future projection too much, but that's an inaccurate statement to say he was unfairly buried as a rookie.  Sad thing is, Core still has a higher career catch % than Tate.

As a point of comparison, Tate caught 4 of 12 targets for 35 yards as a rookie.  Damion Willis caught 9 of 16 Targets for 82 yards last year and he was determined to not be good enough to make the roster this year.  Anybody that thinks Tate should have gotten more PT as a rookie needs to put the Kool Aid away.
