BIOGRAPHY

Cameron Brate, an accomplished American football tight end, was born on July 3, 1991. As of now, he is considered a free agent within the football community. His football journey gained momentum when he played college football at the prestigious Harvard University.

Brate’s journey to football prominence started in the small town of Naperville, Illinois. At Naperville Central High School, Brate made a name for himself as he showcased his athletic prowess in football and basketball. His collegiate career at Harvard saw Brate redshirt during the 2010 season and participate in the 2011-2013 seasons.

In 2014, Brate’s career took a major leap when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed him for a three-year, $1.53 million contract, which included a signing bonus of $3000. Despite competition from Ian Thompson, Brate successfully secured a roster spot as a backup tight end. Although initially waived by the Buccaneers in August 2014, Brate became a part of their practice squad the following day.

Brate’s perseverance bore fruits when he got promoted to the Buccaneers active roster in November 2014. He played his first professional regular-season game on November 30, 2014, during a match against the Cincinnati Bengals where he caught a 17-yard pass. He landed this opportunity in his rookie season due to injuries suffered by his peers.

Further, Brate faced stiff competition from Tim Wright and Evan Rodriguez the following year but secured a practice spot after final roster cuts. However, his career saw a slight dip when he was released from the practice squad by the Buccaneers in September 2015, only to sign with the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad shortly after.

The year 2015 was an eventful one for Brate. When Austin Seferian-Jenkins suffered a shoulder injury, Brate was signed from the saints’ practice squad to the Buccaneers’ active roster, bolstering his career further. He excelled throughout the season, scoring his first career touchdown during a victory over the Atlanta Falcons. He ended the season with 23 receptions, 288 receiving yards, and three touchdown receptions.

Brate’s career witnessed a significant turn of events in 2016 when Dirk Koetter was appointed as the head coach of the Buccaneers following Lovie Smith’s departure. Under the new coach, Brate started challenging Jenkins for the starting role. Brate had an impressive performance throughout the season and finished with 57 receptions,660 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns.

In 2017, the Buccaneers placed a tender on Brate, who had to compete for the primary starting tight end position against O.J. Howard. Despite being named the secondary starting tight end, Brate had an impactful season, making significant contributions throughout the season.

The following year, Brate signed an impressive six-year contract worth $40.8 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he continued to share the starting tight end spot with Howard, Brate remained a valuable asset for the team and completed the season with several commendable performances.

In 2019, Brate was consistent and featured in all 16 games. He hit a significant milestone in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints, making 10 receptions with an overall finishing of the season with 36 receptions for 311 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.

The year 2020 saw Brate displaying solid performance throughout the season. During the NFC Championship against the Green Bay Packers, Brate made a significant contribution to the team’s victory. His consistency continued in Super Bowl LV where he made some crucial catches leading to the team’s victory.

In Super Bowl LV’s boat parade celebration in Tampa, Brate etched his it into the annals of football history by catching the Vince Lombardi Trophy thrown by Tom Brady. Despite an injury in 2022 and subsequent release by the Buccaneers in 2023, Cameron Brate will be cherished as a valuable asset in the annals of American football.
