Jimmy Graham video

[TipDrill]

Pretty neat video on the life of Jimmy Graham. I didn't know Jimmy was influenced by Bernie Kosar to play for the Cane's team after some backyard catch. Pretty cool video

 

[Go Canes!!]

Bernie was dropping swag before most of our greats had hair on their sacs.

I wish this younger generation understood how much of a badass he really was.

Best QB to ever wear the orange and green.

I attended a small event with his foster mother a few years back where she told their story; she was a nurse trying to put herself through school at the time. It was inspiring.

Only a few of us can be a Bernie Kosar, nearly everyone can be a Becky Vincent.

If memory serves, he lobbied to be an actual Chief of Staff (in traditional sense) during the Golden era.

D'No was concerned he wasn't a take at the Safety position.

Eh... many of us cant even be parents to our own biological kids - let alone take in a foster teenage; lets not play down that down. Not trying to be contrary... yes we all cant have Bernie's abilities, we all dont have Becky Vincent's either. It takes special people to take other peoples kids under their wings and love them as their own...

That’s fair. I think people can do more than they believe when the moment calls on them, but you also don’t get anywhere trying to be someone you aren’t

I'm neither a Bernie nor a Becky unfortunately.

Defying all odds. Good for Jimmy.

Dude would have been our first HOF TE if he would have stayed in New Orleans

What a story. I had not heard it before. Thanks for sharing.

I edited my quote not to confuse people but I'm thinking that Greg Olsen gets in.

Not a first ballot guy but still an amazing NFL TE.

Problem is, most of the younger generation doesn't want to listen to anyone, no matter what that person knows or has done. Kids are far different these days.
