Jimmy Graham wants to be complete TE in his 2nd year

FinSaint · 08-18-2011, 10:19 AM

Graham has added between 5 and 10 pounds of bulk and said he has been focused on becoming a better blocker.

''I just want to be a complete tight end to where, whenever I'm on the field, you don't know what's going on,'' Graham said. ''Last year I felt like a lot of opponents knew we were going to pass the ball when I was in there. Now I just want to be able to block and hold my own.''

Blocking was clearly his weak point last year, which it is for most of the rookies, but probably especially for him since he made the transition to football so late.

I hope he can vastly improve his blocking and Thomas is in my opinion a much better mentor at that then Shockey would've been.
