Brandon Tate drafted by New England Patriots in 3rd round

Posted Apr 26, 2009
In the span of a few months UNC wide receiver Brandon Tate went from a surefire first rounder to a questionable selection in any round, but on Sunday morning everything came to fruition, as Tate was selected in the third round by the New England Patriots. "He's got a great body of work that he's accomplished," said UNC head coach Butch Davis of Tate. "He's a terrific kick returner, which I think is enticing to a lot of teams. He's got big-play ability." (Rivals.com)
