Professional career

Cleveland Browns

Tate signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent on May 3, 2019.[2] However, he was waived on May 28, 2019.[2]

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

On June 21, 2019, Tate signed a practice roster agreement with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.[3] He made his professional debut in the final game of the regular season on November 2, 2019, against the Toronto Argonauts.[2] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season.

Toronto Argonauts

Shortly after his Hamilton release, Tate signed a practice roster agreement with the Toronto Argonauts on August 26, 2021.[4][5]

Ottawa Redblacks

Due to 2021 rules regarding possible pandemic limitations, the Ottawa Redblacks claimed Tate from Toronto's practice roster on September 19, 2021, to play for the team temporarily.[4][6] He played at left tackle for the team's game against the Edmonton Elks on September 28, 2021, and then had his rights reverted to the Argonauts shortly thereafter.[4][6]

After playing one game for the Redblacks, Tate re-joined the Argonauts on September 30, 2021.[4] He played in four regular season games for the team to end the 2021 season, including against the Tiger-Cats and Redblacks, who he had played for earlier in the year.[2]
