Summary

Is Carnell Tate's 40 Time a RED FLAG? | Ohio State WR Draft Stock Under the Microscope One of the biggest talking points coming out of draft season is whether Carnell Tate's 40-yard dash time could be a concern for NFL teams evaluating his draft stock. In this live show, we break down how much the 40 time actually matters, what scouts are saying about Tate's game speed versus track speed, and whether this performance should impact how the Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver is viewed heading into the NFL Draft. Topics covered in this live stream: Carnell Tate's reported 40-yard dash time Why straight-line speed isn't everything for WRs Film vs Combine numbers debate How NFL teams weigh speed, route running, and hands Does Tate's draft stock take a hit — or stay steady? We'll also discuss historical comps of wide receivers who tested slower but still succeeded at the next level, and where Tate currently projects in the draft. 👍 Join the live chat 🔁 Repost & share 🔔 Follow for live NFL Draft and Ohio State coverage
