Buccaneers' Payne Durham: Solid with limited opportunities
Durham was active for 13 regular-season games in 2023, securing five of seven targets for 58 yards over 125 snaps on offense. He added an 18-yard reception on his only target over two postseason games.
The rookie fifth-round pick was the clear No. 2 pass-catching option at tight end behind Cade Otton, who was healthy for all 17 regular-season games and both postseason contests. However, Durham flashed some field-stretching ability with his sparse opportunities, recording double-digit yardage on three catches when factoring in his one postseason grab. Otton heads into the offseason with a clear grasp on the starting job, but Durham could earn his way onto the field more often in 2024 while working in a new offense, and potentially, a new quarterback.
