The possessor of one of the best names in Football (especially if you played your college ball at Notre Dame), Golden Tate was an All-American for the Fighting Irish, and was able to transfer his skills to the National Football League.

Taken by Seattle in the Second Round in 2010, Tate was part of the Seahawks depth chart for his first two seasons, becoming a starter in his third year.  As Seattle marched towards a title, Tate emerged as one of Russell Wilson’s top weapons, aiding the Seahawks in a win in Super Bowl XLVIII, but it led to Tate’s value increasing, and he signed on with the Detroit Lions in 2014.

Playing in Motown for four years and change, Tate went to his only Pro Bowl in 2014, and had three 1,000-plus Receiving Yard years for the Lions.  Closing out his career with Philadelphia and the New York Giants, Tate accumulated 8,278 Yards with 46 Touchdowns.
