Buccaneers | Jaelon Darden agrees to rookie pact

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fourth-round draft pick WR Jaelon Darden (North Texas) signed a four-year contract Wednesday, May 19. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

Footballguys View: Darden is one of the most explosive receivers in this draft class and he’s got a tremendous nose for the end zone. He finished third in the FBS in receiving yards (1,190) in 2020 and second in receiving touchdowns (19) only behind DeVonta Smith. He’s an undersized wide receiver which leads to durability concerns, but Darden is driven and focused to make an impact. We’ll be watching him in dynasty formats.
