How will Jimmy Graham adapt to the Seahawks offense?

I really don’t expect Graham to play for very long Friday night but I’m sure the Seahawks will want to get him out there and see how he will fare in the offense. The Seahawks have a great run game with ‘Beast Mode’ and Graham will be expected to block a lot of the time.

Graham’s role is going to change from the one he had when he was with the New Orleans Saints.

I’m not saying that he won’t be involved in the pass game, I’m just saying he is going to be asked to help out more in the run game. He won’t reach the numbers that he put up with the Saint but he will be essential in the pass game next season. Graham is a game-changer with amazing speed and he is a big-bodied red-zone threat.

Look for Graham to be involved early in both the run and pass game. The Seahawks will be hoping the Russell Wilson and Graham can get in sync in preseason and build an understanding before the regular season. Graham is an awesome athlete and I’m sure he will slot right into the Seahawks offense as if he has been there for years.
