Auburn’s bruising, big-play back with proven SEC production
Ben Tate was a difference-maker for Auburn in the 2009 season, rushing for 1,362 yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging 5.2 yards per carry and earning second-team All-SEC honors. He finished his Auburn career with 3,321 rushing yards, 24 rushing touchdowns, and 336 receiving yards, giving him a rare blend of power, burst, and functional pass-game value. Draft profiles praised his strong 4.34–4.50 speed range and 26 bench reps, which matched the tape: tough between the tackles, explosive in space, and built for volume. If you want a dependable, physical feature back, Tate fits the bill.
