Story: Jackets hoping to regain focus
The player whom fellow receivers now in the NFL used to call “White Lightning” will play his final game at Sanford Stadium on Saturday. He may deserve the most rousing Senior Day ovation from fans, considering his production and how long he waited for this kind of year.
Durham missed all of the 2009 season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Injuries also held him back in 2008, after he showed promise as a freshman and sophomore.
