Steve Palazzolo, who covers the NFL for ESPN, released a list of the league’s most complete tight ends Tuesday afternoon, and former New Orleans Saints All-Pro Jimmy Graham didn’t even make the list. I repeat, Jimmy is not on there. Saints fans should get a kick out of this.
Palazzolo then categorized several tight ends into best receivers and best blockers. Jimmy Graham? Still not on there. In fact, the man who has racked up 386 catches for 4, 752 yards and 51 touchdowns in his first five seasons with quarterback Drew Brees under center fell into the “on the decline” category alongside San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates.
