Jimmy Graham adds dimension Seattle has lacked
Despite their offensive line issues, it looks like the Seahawks achieved their goal when they made that blockbuster trade for Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham. He offers them something they haven’t had in the passing game to this point which is explosiveness up the middle of the field and big target in the red zone.
He flashed some of that ability against the Chiefs, making three catches for 39 yards including this beauty for a long conversion on 2nd and 18 for a 1st down. If the Seahawks are able to do this in addition to their dominant ground attack, then they are even more dangerous than they’ve been the past two years.
