NFL Draft 2026: Carnell Tate could be the next Buckeye with the Jets
How much fun would it be to watch Carnell Tate and Garrett Wilson as teammates with the Jets?
I’m hardly a fan or an alum, but nicknames belong to the people who they belong to. There is no “the” for any other university. There is only The Ohio State University.
When it comes to the Buckeyes there is also something else that they are known for… elite wide receivers. Recent history has seen the likes of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Marvin Harrison Jr. take over the NFL. Emeka Egbuka is on his way, and Terry McLaurin is still playing at an elite level. You get the point. The Buckeyes have a knack for this.
Up next from tOSU is Carnell Tate. Next week will see a team pin all of their hopes and dreams to Tate in the hopes of him transforming their offense the way that many of these other receivers did.
Recently we here at SB Nation had a chance to talk to Carnell and I asked him about the thought of linking up with one of those Buckeye greats in the pros. I am talking about Garrett Wilson and the New York Jets specifically here.
Many mock drafts have the Jets taking Carnell Tate. It sure would be something to see him running opposite of Wilson with Geno Smith at quarterback (that last bit is something that would probably change by Tate’s sophomore season).
To be clear, Tate noted that he is more than content with wherever he winds up. He had a very relaxed disposition about him.
Some would say that Carnell had a chill manner about him as a matter of fact. This makes sense given his recent work with SNICKERS Ice Cream ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.
I’ve had these ice cream bars myself and can vouch for their greatness. The good news is that anybody can have them, too. Carnell made sure of that.
- Fans can head to SNICKERS.com/Chill to claim a free SNICKERS Ice Cream CHILL Bar 6-pack (while supplies last), featuring Original and the new Crunchy Peanut Butter, which delivers an even bolder bite, packed with roasted peanuts and its signature chewy caramel glaze for the ultimate satisfaction.
- Fans can score again on April 20 and April 24 at 12:00 PM ET – just in time to chill out before the picks start rolling in.
You can also see that Carnell is wearing quite the SNICKERS Ice Cream chain. He’ll be rocking it ahead of the NFL draft, too. Fans can have a chance to win Carnell’s ultimate draft-day flex, the SNICKERS Ice Cream CHILL Chain, at the same website from now through April 27th at 5pm ET. Fans who claim a 6-pack of the CHILL bars will automatically be entered for a chance to win, too.
Best of luck to everyone. Especially to Carnell Tate!
