Real big, fantastic athlete, was super efficient in college despite low volume, plus it was the Saints that drafted him. Sean Payton’s entire offense was built around creating mismatches, and Graham was a matchup nightmare – too fast and shifty for LB coverage, too big for DB coverage, redzone TD machine. We had Colston dominating in a similar role, so Graham just added another layer of that. Two big-bodied receiving threats like them on the field meant that we didn’t need guys like Henderson and Meachem to be anything other than fast.
Also he was a 3rd round pick. He’s more like the TE version of Cardale Jones but actually good. His 17 career receptions in college resulted in over 200 yards and 5 TD’s.
