NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Look for Tennessee wide receiver Carnell Tate during practice and the rookie can be found kneeling or standing next to veteran Calvin Ridley, listening intently.
The No. 4 pick in April's NFL draft out of Ohio State is learning the **** ans' new offense, trying to fit into the NFL and picking up as much knowledge as possible from someone who knows both well.
"Oh, I try to pick Rid's brain every chance I get, and I used to grow up watching Rid (in his) Alabama days," Tate said. "Rid is an elite receiver, his moves elite. So I try and soak as much as possible from Rid."
Tate is Tennessee's future and arguably Cam Ward's top target already with the preseason opener Thursday night at San Francisco. Ridley? Well, the **** ans brought him in with a splashy free agent contract in 2024, and Ridley had to restructure that deal in March to stick around after an injury-plagued 2025 season.
Going into his eighth season at 31, Ridley said he likes living in Nashville and working with a talented, young group of receivers in Tennessee.
