When the New Orleans Saints traded Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks Tuesday, one 7-year-old girl took the trade really hard. And her mom captured it all on video -- which has gone viral.

"Wherever Jimmy Graham goes is where I go, no matter what team," Lexia Woods told her mom, Ashley-Ann Woods, after she found out about the trade. "He's going to the Seahawks. It's just not smart of them to let Jimmy Graham over there."

Turns out, the video caught the attention of Graham himself, according to The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C.

Graham sent the family a message inviting Lexia to Seahawks' opening game in Seattle.

"She felt a lot better when Jimmy reached out to her," Ashley-Ann Woods told The Post and Courier. "He said watching the video made him smile. She said, 'Mom, I made Jimmy smile.' To her that was the most important thing."
