Brandon Tate aiming to be great

Posted Sep 14, 2007

Brandon Tate looked sleepy as he walked out to Navy Fields for football practice. "You get a nap?" UNC wide receivers coach Charlie Williams asked him. "Yeah," Tate said with a hint of a yawn. "I didn't get one," Williams replied. "While you were taking a nap, I was in a meeting for three hours. Know what we were talking about?" Tate perked up a little. "What?" he asked. "How great Brandon Tate can be," Williams answered. (Durham Herald-Sun)
