Overview

  • Tennessee selected Carnell Tate fourth overall, making the Ohio State standout the first wide receiver taken.
  • The Titans later traded back into the first round to add Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk at No. 31.
  • General manager Mike Borgonzi said Tate was the top receiver on their board and a strong fit for the offense built around Cam Ward.
  • Head coach Robert Saleh said the choice centered on giving Ward a weapon who can turn catches into scores.
  • Tennessee’s passing attack ranked 30th last season, and Tate arrives with 121 catches, 1,872 yards and 14 touchdowns across three years at Ohio State.
