VIDEO: Jimmy Graham's Latest Comments Should Have Packers Fans Fired Up
By Brendan Azoff
Last season was a disappointing one for the Packers and Jimmy Graham, but during an interview Sunday the tight end told reporters that this year will be much different.
Jimmy Graham said "I fit everywhere" in the #Packers' new offense. "Last year was disappointing for everybody. I'm not used to losing. I don't think anybody here is. And for me, it was not a good year," he said. "I'm gonna go prove a lot of people wrong." pic.twitter.com/Ba4FtBFo6B

Graham sounds like someone who is out to prove that last season was a fluke and that he can still be a productive player in the NFL. Two seasons ago, Graham had ten touchdowns for the Seahawks. In 2018-2019, that number plummeted to just two, leading many people to question whether Graham, who is now 32, still has what it takes to produce at a high level.
The fact of the matter is that the Packers had a bad year, one that saw a favorite in the NFC finish the season at 6-9-1 and missing the playoffs. With a year of comfortability between Aaron Rodgers and his new tight end, Graham's involvement in the offense could be expected to increase and he knows it.
"It's something that eats at me every day, just not making the playoffs and sometimes not making the plays that I should've."

Packers fans should be eager to see Graham hit the field, as he's looking to prove it this year. Graham now has a large chip on his shoulder, and is looking to regain his spot among the top tight ends in the game.
Formerly renowned as one of the more fearsome receiving tight ends in the sport, Graham is hoping to put up big numbers in the outing.
