Five old Notre Dame Football photos for a Friday: The chosen one... Golden Tate

Time for another Notre Dame football photo Friday... and I have some making-up to do after last week’s no-show. An easy way to do that is to put one of the most electric players in Irish history in front of the spotlight — a light that he relished greatly during his three years in South Bend.

Golden Tate was a revelation. He ran incredible routes and had some of the strongest hands you’ll ever see on a wide receiver. His route-running was greatly aided by his elite speed and split-second quickness. Perhaps more than anything, however, it was what he did with the ball once it was in his hands.
