Wow he snuck up that list.

 

[filmcane]

Good for him!!

Little known fact. Jimmy is 4th all time TD receptions for a TE. He belongs in the HOF when he’s done. Top 10 TE all time.

The pace he was on with the saints.. sheesh.. he woulda been a lock

If I remember right he only played football one season here. Was on the basketball team 4 years.

He still is. 5x pro bowler with the 4th most TDs for TEs. Might not get in on the first try but maybe the 3rd or 4th.

1)Gronk
2) Tony G
3) Kelce
4) Kittle
5) Gates
6) Witten
7) Jimmy
8) Shannon
9) Olsen
10) Waller….and climbing if he keeps playing like he is.

Jimmy’s an amazing sorry. Quit playing football in high school after the program was dropped, and he preferred basketball. Wasn’t NBA material, so took a flyer on using one year of eligibility for football. The team needed depth.

And here he is now. Multi-millionaire with an outside chance at the HOF.

Fantastic human being to top it off! Congrats JG

If NO didn't trade him he'd be over 100.

He should have not left until drew did

With all do respect, does Kittle really deserve to be that high? I believe his upside would have him at 4 maybe but… he’s always hurt.

Waller and kittle have not been in the league long enough to be on that list

Shannon is too low on that list. He played in an era where they didn't throw the ball 45x per game. Also, the current TE's are modeled after him.

 

[Angry Ibis]

Thought this was another coaching or AD thread

 

[TemplarCane]

Jimmy has a chance at the HOF but hasn’t been a fixture on a team thats usually in the playoffs, like Gronk was at NE.

Thought this was another coaching or AD thread

Jimmy Graham should be the AD

 

[IbzRlz]

That was Graham's doing by demanding to be paid as a WR...ended up the highest paid TE at the time but burned bridges with NO and was traded the following offseason

The real amazing part of the story starts before all that when his mother literally disowned him as she signed him over to an orphanage at the age of 11.

Wow. I never knew this. How awful.
