MARCH 8 • PEWTERREPORT.COM
New career highs in '24 McCollum posted 82 tackles (55 solo), 17 defensed passes, including two interceptions and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Impact The third-year defensive back played in all 17 games for the second consecutive season and set new career highs in tackles and pass defensed while snagging the first two interceptions of his career. McCollum logged a career-high 1,007 snaps on defense as well, and he allowed an impressively sparse 48.2 percent completion rate in primary coverage, although that figure actually represented a three-percent increase from 2023. McCollum was a consistent source of IDP production by cornerback standards due to his above-average tackling and knack for getting his hands on the ball, and he could be candidate for an extension this offseason considering he's slated to play out the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

Six tackles in Week 17 blowout win McCollum tallied six tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact McCollum played in all 46 defensive snap Sunday and led the Buccaneers in combined and solo tackles. The 2022 fifth-round pick has played every single defensive snap in four of the Bucs' six games since the Week 11 bye, and he's up to 76 tackles (51 solo), 13 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one fumble recovery through 16 regular-season games. McCollum and the Bucs will look to clinch the NFC South division against the Saints next Sunday.

Solid as tackler in win McCollum recorded six tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-13 win versus the Raiders.
Impact McCollum was on the field for virtually every one of Tampa Bay's defensive snaps in a game where Las Vegas attempted 37 passes, so he saw more than a few chances to make tackles in the open field. The Buccaneers probably won't be defending the pass quite as much in Week 15 against the Chargers.
DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Reliable in road win McCollum recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-7 win against the Giants.
Impact McCollum played all 56 of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps in Week 12, and he managed seven tackles for the second time in his last three outings. He figures to see a lot of rookie first-rounder Xavier Legette and veteran David Moore in Week 13 at Carolina.
NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Active for Week 12 McCollum (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact McCollum injured his hamstring in the Bucs' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. He took advantage of the additional rest courtesy of the Week 11 bye, and he was able to practice in full Friday after opening the week with consecutive DNPs. McCollum and Jamel Dean will serve as the Bucs' starting corners Sunday against the Giants' new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito.
NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Week 12 McCollum (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McCollum opened the Buccaneers' week of practice with back-to-back DNPs after aggravating his hamstring injury in Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to the 49ers. However, he upgraded to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's trending toward playing in Week 12. If the Sam Houston State is sidelined Sunday, expect Tyrek Funderburk to see increased work with Buccaneers' first-team defense.
