I don’t know if there is another player in Notre Dame history that was half as talented at keeping their balance as Golden Tate was. Opponents would regularly get a hand on him, swing him around and he’d routinely spin out to pick up more yardage.
In case you’ve somehow forgotten or are just too young to recall (man alive I feel old typing that), here’s a link to refresh your memory.
Although the New York Giants are out of contention, Tate was at it again on Sunday, taking a pass from Eli Manning and making the Miami Dolphins look like University of Washington defenders from 2009 on his way to the end zone.

The touchdown reception was Tate’s only reception on the day but fifth touchdown of the year. The Giants improved to 3-11 on the season, winning their first game since September 29 in Sunday’s 36-20 win over the Dolphins.
