The Facts: The first name to spring to Pete Carroll's mind when asked who made the biggest impression on him this offseason was Graham. "I think Jimmy's offseason is a big highlight for us," Carroll said. "Last year at this time we didn't know what he was going to be like. We were positive, but didn't know. He had a phenomenal offseason and great work with us."
Diehards Line:
Graham, set to enter his third season with Seattle after coming over in a trade following the 2015 season, is back to full health after spending all of last year’s offseason recovering from a torn patella tendon in his knee. This after he set franchise records for Seattle in receptions (65), receiving yards (923) and touchdowns (6) by a tight end last year. Graham has only managed eight touchdowns in his two seasons in Seattle. He had at least nine touchdowns in four of his five seasons with the Saints before coming to the Seahawks. Carroll did acknowledge that getting more out of Graham in the red zone is a focus for them this season.
