Brandon Tate's long wait to take the field for Pats is finally over

Though it had been little more than a year since Brandon Tate stepped on a football field in pads, to him it seemed like at least twice that long. When you're 22, enduring the grind of rehabilitation and itching to make your debut as a professional football player, every day seems twice as long. A third-round draft pick of the Patriots' this spring, Tate tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee last Oct. 11, playing for his North Carolina Tar Heels against Notre Dame. (Providence Journal)
