Bills GM Mocks Tate's Slow 40 Time

Bills general manager Brandon Beane joked that Tate was 'pretty slow' during a broadcast, saying 'I probably wouldn't take him early.' Despite the slow time, Tate remains a projected first-round pick after catching 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025.

The comment came as Beane appeared on the NFL Network broadcast alongside Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah. Tate formed a dynamic tandem with Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State, where he was a key playmaker in their national championship run.
