Giants’ Patrick Graham: Once-reluctant coach nearing top of the mountain

“Passionate.”

New York Giants backup quarterback Colt McCoy has gotten a closeup look at defensive coordinator Patrick Graham all season, and that’s the word McCoy used this week to describe him.

“He’s just passionate. He works so hard to put his guys in a position to be successful and to make plays,” McCoy said. “He’s a great coach, guys listen to him, respect him. One thing about Coach Graham is you’re going to get his best, whether you’re at a walkthrough during training camp or in a game in Seattle. He’s a true pro and I know the guys love playing for him.
