Caleb Tate adds nickel depth with special-teams value and a forced-fumble knack
Caleb Tate is a 6-foot, 200-pound graduate student nickelback who appeared in 13 games in 2024, mostly on special teams, and posted six tackles plus a forced fumble, including a tackle-for-loss and forced fumble against Toledo. His profile is built on versatility and reliability rather than flash: Buffalo’s roster note says he should factor into the rotation, and his background as a Florida defender with a football lineage adds to the maturity angle. If your team needs a tough, depth-friendly DB who can help on coverage units and create the occasional turnover, Tate is a sensible fit.
