Auburn running back Ben Tate is flying up our fantasy football rookie rankings after a remarkable performance at the combine. From ESPN (blog).
Auburn running back Ben Tate had a super workout session. Weighing 220 pounds, he turned in the third fastest 40-yard dash time among the running backs (4.43), was second among the running backs with a 40.5-inch vertical leap and tied for the most reps on the bench-press among running backs with 26. He also had a 10-4 broad jump, which tied Tennessee’s Montario Hardesty for first among the running backs.
Among RBs Tate finished in the top three in 5 events (of 7) at the NFL combine. That kind of performance will get him drafted in the first few rounds, which should be enough to propel him into the top 5 overall among rookies in QBallers’ post-combine 2010 fantasy football rookie rankings.
