Based on last year, your typical WR has a first down catch % ranging from low 60's to low 80s, weighted more towards the lower end of that range.  Statistically speaking, a 71.4% first down catch % is good, but not exceptional.  

First down catch % is a rarely used and little valued statistic, however, which begs the question as to why it is consistently brought up in reference to Tate and not other WR's around the league or even on the Bengals.  For example, John Ross had a 78% 1st down catch % last year.
