He’s played in 104 career NFL games (49 starts) and caught just 24 passes on 36 targets in that span. His primary job isn’t to make big plays in the passing game, it’s to move people in the run game.Biggest question to answer in camp: Is Dulcich ready to become The Guy?As the offseason program progressed, you could almost see Payton’s ...
