The story of Jimmy Graham
By: Jake Rajala
Jimmy Graham is a man of many talents. He’s a former NFL stud, pilot, a former college basketball player, and “ginger”. Graham had three seasons of at least 10 touchdowns with the Saints. The tattoo extremist Jeremy Shockey didn’t eclipse 600 yards or four touchdowns in a single season in a Saints uniform.
Graham was sadly not a part of the Saints Super Bowl roster in 2009-2010. His “little” brother Darren Sproles was also not a member of the team.
The Saints made an unforgiveable trade when they sent Graham away for a center (Max Unger) and a first round pick. Graham was on pace to be an Hall of Famer, as his chemistry with Drew Brees was unmatched. Some may say it was more impressive than the chemistry between Gronk and Brady.
Graham may be 6’7 and able to dominate. Well, height isn’t everything. His QB (Drew Brees) is 6’0 and he just put on a gold jacket.
The Saints have been able to get a lot of time and energy from the great Alvin Kamara. Graham doesn’t have gold teeth, an obsession with airheads, and isn’t able to dunk the ball over the field goal post. However, they both are bound to be Saints Hall of Famers.
In the end, Graham played his last moments in a Saints uniform. It went full circle for Graham. Perhaps Gregg Williams will make a return to the Saints. All jokes aside, the dome was rocking when the Graham 2.0 caught passes.
