At this time last year, Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham was rehabbing from a ruptured patellar tendon injury, and his status for Week 1 of the 2016 season was in doubt.
Graham ended up making it back and played in every game, piling up 923 receiving yards, third best among NFL tight ends.
This offseason, he's already said he plans on working out with quarterback Russell Wilson, and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll believes Graham can have an even bigger impact in 2017.
"It’s really one of the beautiful things that’s happening this offseason is that Jimmy has a chance to work out and get better," Carroll told reporters Thursday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
