The NFL is all about relationships. When Jimmy Graham first joined the New Orleans Saints back in 2010, he arrived without many resources to lean on — so it didn’t take long for him to bond with his new quarterback Drew Brees. When they weren’t setting records on the field, Graham grew close with Brees’ family, filling in as a (very) big brother to the quarterback’s children and joining them for Thanksgiving dinner.
And that relationship endured when the Saints traded Graham away all those years ago. Brees was quick to congratulate Graham on his return to New Orleans, which the big tight end shared after Saturday’s training camp practice.
