You still hear a lot that the Seattle Seahawks are not using tight end Jimmy Graham consistently or properly. But 65 catches and 923 yards are franchise records, while his six touchdowns scored in 2016 are still pretty good, especially for an offense that is historically conservative in the passing game and has several other weapons, like Doug Baldwin.
The most recent example is Danny Kelly addressing Graham’s lack of redzone targets by utilizing this stat line.
Graham redzone targets (Inside the ten yard line) from 2010-2014 with the New Orleans Saints: 58 targets, 30 TDs
From 2015-2016 with Seattle: 7 targets, 2 TDS
On average that’s 11 targets and six touchdowns per season with the Saints compared to three targets and one touchdown per year with the Seahawks.
