For a reference point? Jermaine Gresham had 11 fumbles in 5 years on 280 catches (25.45 per fumble), and most of those came on second/third efforts that you don't get from Tate.
Tate fumbles roughly the same rate as Jermaine Gresham with significantly less contact than Gresham. I think you really meant to use a different word than "seldom".
That's interesting that you compare a tight ends job to that of a kick returner. How many kicks did Gresham return? That's a bit like saying Tate fumbles as often as your grandma.. Compare kick returners, not tight ends to kick returners..
I'm open to the comparison of kick returners. Find the stats on them, but not tight ends vs kick returners..
Of course orange trees would all die if grown in Michigan, but we're not really comparing oranges and apples..
