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.
