Barton gets to pursue his passion full time after coming to Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft pick Graham Barton earned his degree at Duke University after four years playing for the team, but he didn't go to graduation to walk across the stage in Durham.And while it was indeed a joke, his new career path certainly is not. Barton has transitioned from being a student-athlete to a full-time NFL player once the Bucs drafted him, and it's something he's been looking forward to for a long time.
When talking to the media, Carberry said that he told Barton he'd have to step in as a leader on the offensive line right away, and he believes his passion for the gridiron will allow him to do just that.
