The Facts: The Packers agreed to terms with Graham on the same day they released Aaron Rodgers’ favorite target, receiver Jordy Nelson. Rodgers called that day “bittersweet.” And while Graham and Nelson play different positions and the moves probably would have been made independent of each other, it continues to be viewed as a swap of a 32-year-old receiver for a 31-year-old tight end. But Graham insists he can still deliver. “I’m still 6-[foot]-7 and can still run a 4.5 [40-yard dash], so I think so,” Graham said. “Hopefully I can do that here. When my number is called, I’m going to be ready, I can tell you that.”

Diehards Line: In his three seasons with the Seahawks, Graham never matched the production he had with the Saints. Perhaps that could be attributed to the differing philosophies of each team (the Saints as the wide-open passing offense compared to the defensive-minded, run-oriented Seahawks) and the quarterbacks (Drew Brees in New Orleans, Russell Wilson in Seattle). Graham ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee late in 2015, his first season with the Seahawks. He came back the next season with 65 catches for 923 yards and six touchdowns. He caught 10 touchdown passes last season, but his yardage total (520) was the lowest since his rookie year (2010). Both of his 1,000-yard seasons (2011 and 2013) came in New Orleans, where he had four different seasons with double-digit touchdowns. The Packers clearly believe Graham can replicate his production with the Saints and Brees. HC Mike McCarthy’s offense often has been most effective when he has an athletic, pass-catching tight end at his disposal. It'll be interesting to see if Graham can come through where others (including Martellus Bennett last season) haven't.
