When the Bengals selected Auden Tate in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft my hopes were not high. The team already has a surplus of young receivers and the competition at the position was expected to be steep this offseason.
My Florida State friends didn’t have great things to say. “He’s just a tall receiver,” “nothing to get excited about,” they said.
But, the rookie receiver has done nothing but impress since showing up in Cincinnati as the 253rd pick in the draft.
He’s drawing praise from his teammates.
