Golden Tate: Matthew Stafford Is 'Best QB I've Played With'

Jul 16, 2019 8:22 AM

Golden Tate has played 10 NFL seasons and says Matthew Stafford is the best quarterback he's caught passes from.

Tate has played with the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.

"To me, as of now, where I am today, I think Stafford's been the best quarterback I've played with," Tate said. "The guy can flat-out play. He's tough, his attitude is amazing and he just wants to play ball. For me, I have nothing but praises for him. It's almost unfair that he's such a good player and doesn't have playoffs or a ring to show for it. That kind of hurts my heart that I wasn't able to help change that."

Tate won a Super Bowl with Russell Wilson during his time with the Seahawks.

"I think over his career, if you put him in another organization, maybe things are different. I don't know. Because I've played with some guys over my years that I've won playoff games with that I don't think are as good," Tate said.

Glover Quin 'Walking Away' After 10 Seasons

Jul 9, 2019 8:25 AM

Glover Quin has decided to retire from the NFL after 10 seasons with the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans.

The 33-year-old started the final 148 games of his career and started 156 of 159 games in total.

He notched 737 tackles with 24 interceptions, 85 passes defended, 10 forced fumbles, four sacks and two defensive touchdowns in his decade in the league.

"Playing professional sports was always a dream of mine. Football was the route I chose and God blessed me to be able to persevere through all the hardships and play 10 years in the NFL," Quin wrote in a text message to ESPN. "I'm so thankful for the opportunity I had to play in the NFL with such great players and two great organizations.

"Football was never who I was as a person. It was always what I had done. I wanted to use football as a stepping stone into the rest of my life and not let football be my life. I always only wanted to play 10 years. Said if I was able to walk off the field after the last game in Year 10, it would be really hard for me to walk back on. I'm young, I'm healthy and I got a lot of life to live. So I'm walking away from the game of football."
