Ben Tate...Auburn's RB...wants to get noticed by NFL scouts this season


Ben Tate hopes to finish his Auburn career with the kind of season that makes NFL scouts take notice. He’s not modest in his goals. He would like to average 5 yards per carry, rush for 1,200 yards and score 14 touchdowns.
Only Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno accomplished all 3 of those feats in the SEC last year.

“I think that would silence all the critics that I do have,” Tate said.

The critics were justified last year. After strong freshman and sophomore campaigns, during which he ran for a total of 1,295 yards and 11 touchdowns, Tate finished with a disappointing 664 yards on the ground last year, reaching the end zone on only 3 occasions. The SEC Rocks!
