Weighing 220 pounds, he turned in the third fastest 40-yard dash time among the running backs (4.43), was second among the running backs with a 40.5-inch vertical leap and tied for the most reps on the bench-press among running backs with 26. He also had a 10-4 broad jump, which tied Tennessee&#8217;s Montario Hardesty for first among the running backs.<!--more--><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">Among RBs\u00c2\u00a0Tate finished in the top three in 5 events (of 7)\u00c2\u00a0at the NFL combine.
