Next week the Buccaneers face off against the New Orleans Saints, who just came off a big win against the Arizona Cardinals, and Brate will likely play an important role in that game. Brate has become a security blanket for Jameis Winston and quickly took the role of starting role from former Bucs tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins earlier in the Season. Tampa needs to win their final two games of the season to hopefully find themselves back in the Playoff and Brate will play a key factor in keeping those games close and our playoff hopes alive.
