While on the football team, he was teammates with future professional wrestler R-Truth.
Durham was on the state select baseball team and was an honorable mention All-American in football as a defensive back.
He did not attend college, as he began playing minor league baseball with the Gulf Coast White Sox.
Durham was drafted in 5th round by the Chicago White Sox in 1990.
Durham was a member of the Chicago White Sox from 1995 to 2002.
Durham was a leadoff hitter during these years of his career.
Durham established himself as one of baseball's better leadoff hitters with above league average on-base percentages and averaging well over 20 stolen bases and 10 home runs per season.
Between 1996 and 2002, Durham appeared in at least 150 games each season, but in 2003 he only appeared in 110 games and in 2004 he appeared in 120.
Recurring hamstring injuries and other injuries caused Durham to spend time on the disabled list.
The injuries also hampered Durham's success when he was on the field.
Durham's running game and stolen bases dropped as Durham tried to protect his hamstrings from reinjury.
Despite these injuries, Durham did post solid offensive numbers during his time in the line up.
Because of Durham's injuries that limited his speed and the recurring injuries to Giants outfielder Moisés Alou, Durham was given the opportunity to bat fifth in the batting order more often.
His performance from 2000 to 2002 was exceptional.
Durham was traded to the Oakland Athletics before the 2002 baseball trading deadline for right-handed pitcher Jon Adkins.
Durham's hitting helped push he A's into the 2002 playoffs.
The Durham deal was a prototypical "rent a player" trade that can occur at the trading deadline.
The A's, who constantly rank among the bottom teams in baseball in player salaries, made a trade for the short-term playoff push.
Durham was a part of the A's 20 consecutive game winning streak in 2002.
With the A's limited finances, it was well known in baseball circles that Durham would most likely re-sign elsewhere.
After the 2002 season, Durham signed a three-year contract US$20.1 million with the San Francisco Giants with a $7 million player option for a fourth year that was later exercised.

Durham re-signed with the Giants for a two-year contract worth $14.5 million on December 2, 2006.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean lauded Durham for making an impressive transition from a lead off hitter to a middle of the order run producer.
Some Giants fans and radio personalities criticized Durham's performance in 2006 as being motivated by money because 2006 was Durham's contract year.
Durham denied these claims and claimed that almost every year is a contract year.
After re-signing with the Giants, Durham struggled in 2007.
Durham called the season "embarrassing" and the "worst" of his career.
