Brandon Tate will be the Buffalo Bills returner in 2017 Posted Sep 1, 2017 With Tuesday’s release of return man Rashad “The Rocket” Ross, a speedster brought in by the Buffalo Bills to challenge for return duties, it is clear that head coach Sean McDermott has total confidence in wide receiver/return specialist Brandon Tate to handle punt and kickoff return duties in 2017. Tate led the Bills in both kickoff return yards and punt return yards in 2016. (Buffalo Rumblings)
