In the newest version of the NFL Immaculate Grid, we’re focusing on a player who wore jerseys for the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks.
Jimmy Graham is a former tight end who played for both teams. In his 12 years in the NFL, Graham played two seasons for the Bears and three for the Seahawks.
Graham's journey in the NFL led him to don the uniforms of four distinct teams - the New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, and the Chicago Bears.
His NFL journey started when the New Orleans Saints drafted him as the 95th overall pick in the third round of the 2010 NFL draft. His professional journey commenced with a promising start, securing a four-year contract worth $2.455 million immediately after the draft.
During his initial tenure spanning five seasons, Graham showcased his prowess with the Saints. He emerged as a focal point in their offense, featuring in 78 games with 50 starts. His statistics reflected his impact, amassing 386 receptions from 595 targets, resulting in 4,752 yards and an impressive 51 touchdowns.
This exceptional performance led to three Pro Bowl selections (2011, 2013, 2014) and a spot on the All-Pro First Team in 2013. Notably, his football acumen and skills garnered significant recognition.
A pivotal juncture in his career transpired in 2015 when he transitioned to the Seattle Seahawks through a trade. His three-year stint in Seattle was marked by two additional Pro Bowl nods. During this period, he contributed significantly to the Seahawks' offense, starting in 39 out of 43 games, capturing 170 receptions for 2,048 yards, and crossing the endzone on 18 occasions.
In 2018, a new chapter unfolded as Graham inked a lucrative 3-year deal worth $30 million with the Green Bay Packers. Although this partnership was relatively brief, it left an imprint. However, the Packers released him in 2020, leading to yet another transition in his career.
The subsequent destination was the Chicago Bears, with Graham joining their ranks in 2020 under a two-year contract valued at $16 million. He remained a pivotal asset for the Bears in two seasons, though the year 2022 saw him sidelined due to unfortunate circumstances.
In a surprising twist of fate, Graham's journey came full circle as he returned to his original team, the New Orleans Saints, in the current season. He embraced a one-year contract worth $1.31 million, symbolizing a reunion with his football roots.
