Jimmy Graham “has a chip on his shoulder”

Found January 29, 2012 on Rant Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jimmy Graham,  Drew Brees
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints

On the New Orleans Saints official twitter page, @Saints, Drew Brees shared his thoughts on his tight end, Jimmy Graham. Brees had this to say, “He has a chip on his shoulder that I feel is always going to be there because the kid wants to be the best.” I think Jimmy Graham having a “chip on his shoulder” is a great thing for such a great athlete to have. For one, it ensures that Graham will always be motivated in his quest to be the best. Also, it is always good when a player has a swagger about them because that player will have the confidence to go along with their motivation. Graham had a career year in only his sophomore season and at the rate he is going he will be sure to have his own bust in Canton, Ohio. Brees and Graham will represent the New Orleans Saints tomorrow in the Pro Bowl and it is encouraging to hear Brees praise his Pro Bowl tight end. The two players seem to have great chemistry on and off the field and this is great for Saints’ fans to see. Although the Saint...

Drew Brees: “Sean Payton gave me an opportunity…”

Via Rant Sports  |  January 28, 2012
Drew Brees is without a doubt one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now and Brees is thankful for the chance that the New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton gave him. After Brees and the San Diego Chargers could not come to terms on a new deal back in 2005 Brees’ options were the Saints or the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were reluctant to take Brees because of his...

Via SBNationCam Newton’s pants are pulled so high up he looks like Urkel from the show Family Matters. Drew Brees is out there looking serious. Cam is watching on with a sideways hat and a white leggings. Keep doing what you are doing Cam. The only thing that is missing is his huge trade mark smile. He is an icon and an entertainer y’all.

Cam Newton Really Enjoyed His Pro Bowl Experience

Via Terez Owens  |  January 30, 2012
At least I dominated one game T.. Carolina Panters Rookie of the Year Cam Newton played the entire second half of the Probowl Sunday in relief of Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees, and kind of stunk up the joint — Newton completed just 9-of-27 passes for 186 yards, with three interceptions — including one that was returned for a touchdown. He did do very well off the field...

Brees is no Flutie

Via Billboard  |  January 30, 2012
  ---Drew Brees said in a sideline interview of Sunday's Pro Bowl that when he and Doug Flutie had been teammates in San Diego Flutie, a master of the drop kick, had taught him how to do it. So with Flutie in the broadcast booth, Brees decided it was the perfect moment to emulate him, but the kick for an extra point was too low. Brees told Flutie that his drop was too...

Saints Nation: Saints Players Make Splash in Pro Bowl

Via The Saints Nation  |  January 30, 2012
The Pro Bowl has mercifully ended in a 59-41 AFC win and the Saints players that were involved all had notable moments. The NFC coaches decide to leave Cam Newton in for the entire second half, and he was an absolute disaster out there. He was horribly inaccurate with his throws, his footwork was terrible, he threw three miserable interceptions, and he struggled to shake off the...

Saving the Pro Bowl

Via StraitPinkie.com  |  January 30, 2012
Last night, the worst all-star game in professional sports was saved by one prevailing thought for football fans –there is an actual game next week to look forward to. Otherwise, the Pro Bowl of 2012 was the same four quarters of defenseless crap that has stormed the beaches of Honolulu for years. No one tried to stop any of the six quarterbacks from marching down the field, allowing...
