Now doesnt happen everyday in the NFL..
Hes home from.being buried by Marvin to praised by ZT and.
 And his WRs coach. 
Tate has worked hard to achieve that. Hes not a me guy that is 
Concerned how about his stats.
He could start for a number of teams now. You cant teach his size and radius. He will prosper with a QB that can hit him in stride.

One guy that Tate reminds me of:  Marques Colston.  Former 7th round pick out of Hofstra.  Now, Colston ran a bit faster than Tate, but they are of similar size and Drew Brees turned Colston in to a guy that had six 1000 yard seasons and owns eight other Saint's receiving records.  I am not saying Tate is going to become Colston, but like Brees, Burrow will throw to the guy where only he can make a play on it and will trust his WR.

Tate's performance in 2020 is all about the guys in front of him:  If they (Green and Ross) stay healthy and are tearing it up, Tate won't get as many chances, but if they falter it is really nice to have him backing them up.
