The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Graham Barton with the No. 26 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to fill the void left by the retirement of Ryan Jensen, a standout center. However, Barton’s performance in his rookie season was underwhelming, earning him a No. 21 ranking among NFL centers with a grade of 55.6, the lowest on the Buccaneers’ offensive line. Despite allowing only one sack in 640 pass sets, Barton still ranked just above former center Robert Hainsey, who placed 23rd in the rankings, while top honors went to Kansas City’s Creed Humphrey.
