  03/21/20 - QB Khalil TateSr/2020, Arizona

  Last August, before his roller coaster ride of a senior season began, Khalil Tate revealed that he had a Fathead of Donovan McNabb when he was younger. The former NFL quarterback caught wind of the Arizona QB's wall art via Twitter. McNabb responded in kind: "Appreciate you, young fella. Keep grinding." So began a relationship that, in McNabb's words, "came full circle" several months later. Tate's agent, Zeke Sandhu, reached out to McNabb, who resides in the Phoenix area. Sandhu asked McNabb if he could work with Tate as he prepared for the Wildcats' pro day and the 2020 NFL draft. McNabb gladly accepted the assignment. The six-time Pro Bowl selection believes in giving back. He also believes Tate - one of the most prolific yet polarizing players in UA football history - has untapped talent.

"Sometimes all you need is an extra push," McNabb said this week. "Some guidance to get you over the hump." Tate faces significant hurdles to prove he's more like the player who set multiple records as a sophomore than the one who lost his full-time job as a senior. The postponement of pro day, which had been scheduled for Tuesday, won't help. It would have given Tate a chance to show scouts what he's been working on with McNabb, on and off the field. Instead, because of the coronavirus pandemic, Tate and countless others must wait for another opportunity that might never come. "It's unfortunate what happened," McNabb said, "because he was ready. And he's gonna continue to be ready when the time comes." - Arizona Star News
