The Facts:
It is clear that Dunn still wants to play and produce, and he has an unmistakable message for anyone who thinks the Bucs brought him here to be a spare part. "I would never consider myself a third-down back. It's not my mentality. I don't play the game that way," he said. "I don't think coach Jon Gruden brought me here just to play on third down."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If you believe Gruden, Dunn will get his chance. ... "I see him as being a front-line guy," the coach said. "He is going to play a lot. ..." With the Bucs, Dunn figures to be used more as a receiver than he was with the Falcons. A year ago, Earnest Graham (who is skipping the off-season program while hoping for a contract extension) led the Bucs in rushing with 898 yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 starts. But Gruden believes Dunn can produce more big plays. A year ago, Graham's longest run in 222 carries was 28 yards.
