The New Orleans Saints are being connected to a potential offensive playmaker in recent mock draft projections, with wide receiver Carnell Tate emerging as a possible target.

The talented pass catcher could fill a key void following the departure of Rashid Shaheed while providing another dynamic option alongside Chris Olave.

Tate, who starred for the Ohio State Buckeyes football, has the size and skill set teams look for in a true outside “X” receiver.

Known for his ability to stretch the field vertically, he consistently wins contested catches and presents a reliable deep-ball target, traits that could help open the offense.

His potential impact also ties directly to quarterback development. Young signal-caller Tyler Shough would benefit from a receiver capable of making difficult plays downfield. 

With the NFL Draft approaching, adding another weapon could be a logical move for New Orleans.
