With Elic Ayomanor a year ahead of him, and Calvin Ridley likely to get Ward's first read on most plays, Tate is likely to struggle against pro defensive backs — the kind he would have seen against the college teams listed above.

Positive signalDepth Chart

Ayomanor's year-ahead depth chart advantage limits Tate's receiving opportunity in Tennessee.

Russell notes that Elic Ayomanor is a year ahead of Carnell Tate on Tennessee's depth chart, positioning Ayomanor as a more established receiving option. This depth chart advantage contributes to Russell's bearish outlook on Tate's receiving yards projection, as Tate is likely to see limited opportunities with Ayomanor ahead of him and Calvin Ridley likely to get Cam Ward's first read on most plays.
