New Orleans TE Jimmy Graham injures himself during Wednesday's practice

How can you put him and Ivory in the same injury category. Ivorys brittle Jimmy never shows it even when he is..... They had do drag him off the field in San Fran kicking and screaming to go take a concussion test, even though you could tell he was shook by the hard surface landing.

He's a Tight End; he often turns his back to the defender as he catches the ball...

When you put on the helmet, you play like you'll never play again...

I appreciate his above-and-beyond efforts, however! Just gonna hate to see him go.

He's the TE version of Ivory.

He's young and learning the game; but I wouldn't geaux as far as reckless and I'd disagree with the Ivory comparison.

And for that reason and his background story is why he's the fan favorite...
