The guy came from nothing & made something of himself. Besides.....Graham knows he's up next year & his pay day will be significant. But to reiterate......Jimmy Graham is a class act & one of the best human beings to ever wear a fleur-de-lis. Last year, this guy sat down for about 30 min. with my 12 yr. old just talking. You don't see that much these days in the NFL. My son got an autograph & a great story to tell at school that day. BTW.....his words after were "Jimmy Graham is awesome. He's so much better than Reggie Bush." He still remembers the autograph snub from Reggie in 2006 at the airport Hilton, when Reggie told him he didn't sign autographs. LOL.

Man, that is awesome, and I wanna know how everyone seems to run into Saints players but me. I have lived in New Orleans my entire life and have yet to see a player anywhere but at a game...

I guess you have to be in the right place at the right time. The Reggie experience was in 2006 at the airport Hilton before the season started & we met Jimmy during Steve Gleason Day events.
