Since joining the league in 2010 as the second round pick of the Seattle Seahawks, Golden Tate has improved with every season. By his fourth year in Seattle he was a Superbowl champion and an underrated part of a run heavy Seattle Seahawk offense. Despite his success with the Seahawks, Tate left the Pacific Northwest for a chance to be a part of an offense where he would have more of a chance to make an impact.
The result was better than both team and player expected. Golden Tate’s 99 receptions and 1331 yards led all Detroit Lions receivers including Calvin Johnson.
