Throughout the offseason, O.J. Howard has been deemed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting tight end. Cameron Brate, on the other hand, has taken a back seat.
While Howard is likely to be on the field slightly more often than Brate, it seems as if many have forgotten how vital Brate is to the Bucs passing attack.
The Harvard product hasn’t garnered much attention. Training camp has been all about Howard and how often he is lined up with the first team.
Quietly, Brate has had a good camp and has continued to work with Winston, including the first preseason game where they connected for 17 yards.
