New Orleans Reunion: Jimmy Graham Returns to New Orleans

Marcelo Unda • July 25, 2023

He's Baaaaaaaaaaccckkkk

Saints and Jimmy Graham have agreed to reunite in New Orleans for one year. I know we are only getting the skeleton of Jimmy Graham and not in Prime Jimmy. I don't care just give me more goal post dunks!

The 12-year veteran, 2013 All Pro, 5x Pro Bowler joins a Saints team that looks to make a run to a win the NFC south Division title.  Jimmy Graham's numbers are nothing to sneeze at:

  • 713 Receptions (7th All-Time)
  • 8,506 Yards (8th All-Time)
  • 85 Touchdowns (3rd All-Time)
  • 11.9 YPC

What a remarkable career when you look back at the numbers. Graham's last game played was in 2021. He spent last season out of the NFL doing what the most interesting human does.

No chance Jimmy takes the Causeway to get to the Northshore when he could just get to a choppa.
Just casually burning calories in Italy. No big deal.

It feels like Graham has lived in entire life already outside of football. He's so much more than a football player which is  inspiring when you think about it. The old threads look good on him, don't they?


When this news broke- it took me back to my only interaction I ever had with  Graham in 2012. I had to dig this up for y'all!


I'm excited for Jimmy and the Saints reunion. I am more excited for what this Saints team has rebuilt it's roster this offseason to prepare for 2023 season. I believe the Saints can compete in the NFC as long as they can stay healthy. I know it will be exciting to see Derek Carr throw bombs inside the Superdome. My early prediction is they win the NFC South and earn a 3 seed. Make it to a NFC Championship game vs the Philadelphia Eagles.

Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
