Harris: Tate is a Justin Jefferson reincarnation; year-one starter with elite route-running.

Bob Harris calls Carnell Tate a reincarnation of Justin Jefferson, feeling he's close to that tier though may never quite reach Jefferson's heights. Harris praises Tate's smooth route-running, disciplined footwork, pacing, body position, and stem angles. On after-the-catch criticism, Harris notes Tate often catches in traffic and is good enough to make the first man miss; he's not a deep threat or elite YAC player like Brandon Marshall, Terrell Owens, or A.J. Brown, but better than Tory Holt. Harris projects Tate as a year-one starter in most situations, including the Vikings (where he'd likely play outside opposite Jordan Addison in the slot).
