O’Connor, 29, is a former seventh-round pick of the Lions back in 2017. He was waived coming out of the preseason and was on and off of the Lions’ practice squad before joining the Buccaneers during the 2017 season.

O’Connor bounced on and off the Buccaneers’ roster and practice squad for the next few seasons before landing on the roster for good near the start of the 2019 season. He was re-signed as an exclusive rights free agent in 2021 and has been in Tampa Bay ever since. 

In 2023, O’Conner has appeared in three games for the Buccaneers, but has yet to record a statistic.
