Khalil Tate. 5. player. 835. . .

The NFL game has evolved, and there are so many examples of dual-threat quarterbacks being successful. It makes the game exciting. It makes the game fun to talk about, but there’s one thing that every signal-caller and fan has to know.

Those frantic drives at the end of games to decide things almost always end with a quarterback having to make a throw from the pocket at the end of the game to help win or lose the contest for his team and his team’s fans.

No one’s going to like seeing 14 touchdowns, especially when your interception total almost equals that (11). Those were Khalil Tate‘s numbers in his final season with the Arizona Wildcats, but he’s earned some draft-worthy marks from a few scouts who love his speed and athleticism and have gone on record as saying he could be a Day 3 draftee. He was an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention in 2017.

In addition to completing 60 percent of his passes in his final season, he also added 413 yards rushing and three touchdowns with his legs. He’s expected to run a sub-4.5 40-yard dash.

Keep an eye on him. He could get discussed a lot.
