Rookie Tate looks to be a quick study

Posted May 5, 2009
Whether rookie wide receiver/return man Brandon Tate's knee will be healthy enough for him to play for the Patriots this year is a mystery, but it had to be considered a good sign that Tate was on the field, wearing No. 19, yesterday for the first day of the team's rookie minicamp. The extent of Tate's activity was catching balls for coaches, but he was just happy to have a helmet on again. (Boston Globe)
