He has really improved since the start of the season. I really didn't care for the taunting of the Panthers fans. But, atleast he didn't break into a Lance Moore dance. LOL.

Jimmy Graham is going to be great, I said the same thing as soon as he was drafted and I watched abit of tape on him. He is becoming more integrated into the O, this kid is going to be a star

I hope he becomes a star because Shockey has to be getting near the end.

First of many to come in a Saints uniform. As he continues to learn all the nuances of of our offense, he's going to become a major part of it. His athleticism is off the charts and I can definitely see a Jermichael Finley type ceiling for him in the future.

Agreed. I knew he was raw coming out of college, but I was stoked about Graham when the Saints drafted him. Brees put Antonio Gates on the NFL map in San Diego, and I had a feeling he could do the same for Graham. I like that he's being utilized more in the offense now, and I think next year, he could definitely be the starter at TE.

He was pumped about the td! Can't wait to see more out of him!

Have to admit that I was quite impressed with what he did out on the field on Sunday. All of us Saints fans in the stands were excited and I had to remind more than a few panther fans that he is from NC. Amazing how none of them knew it

. Notice how both he and Shockey went to Miami for college?! Not ready to give up on Shockey yet, but nice to know there is one making his pressence known.

Awesome. You know, umm, with Shockey injured, a great find, you know, and he is perfect.

It's good that he is growing into a true professional TE. He and Shockey have a couple of years together I think. Once he begins to learn the nuances from Shockey the kid is going to be great. btw He looked really good at TC.
Edit: I couldn't believe that he tried to give away that football.
