Bills GM Mocks Tate's Slow 40 Time

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane couldn't resist poking fun at Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate during Saturday's NFL Scouting Combine broadcast. Despite Tate's 4.54-second 40-yard dash time leaving him outside the top 10 fastest receivers at the event, Beane quipped, "He's pretty slow. I probably wouldn't take him early."

Tate remains firmly in the first-round conversation despite the slow time. The Ohio State standout emerged as a key playmaker in 2025, finishing his junior season with 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns after contributing to the Buckeyes' 2024 national championship run.
