Tate is a good blocker, has great mitts, and he can high point well. I could see Tate even following Darren Waller's path of eventually converting to TE. Waller came into the league as a big WR in 2015 but started his conversion to TE last year when Oakland picked him off Baltimore's PS. I've liked what I've seen from Tate over the likes of Schreck, Carter, and Franks.

I actually think Driskell's ability to cover punts makes it more likely Tate can make the roster as a WR. Normally you need your last WR to play special teams but that isn't really Tate's thing. There is no reason to move the guy to TE, he has been fine when given the chance as a WR. What the guys needs are more chances, hopefully we see more of those chances while AJ is out.
