New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis fielded questions from local media during his opening press conference at the start of training camp, and naturally many inquiries focused on the return of tight end Jimmy Graham. Loomis said that Graham returned to the team as a more mature player after a decade away from New Orleans.
“Jimmy was a popular player, he should have been a popular player, he was spectacular for us. He represented himself and the organization (well), he’s done that every place he’s been,” Loomis began, chuckling that his daughter had never forgiven him for trading her favorite player.
