Bengals bubble watch: Brandon Tate Posted Jun 24, 2014 Brandon Tate will need to show the coaches in preseason practices and games at receiver that he could be an asset off the bench. He'll likely be competing for the final receiver spot with the likes of Cobi Hamilton and rookies James Wright and Colin Lockett. Along with playing well at receiver, Tate will have to prove in the preseason that not only is he a good kick returner, but that he can be an elite one. (ESPN.com)
