If there was one criticism anyone had over the years of Jimmy Graham is that his blocking skills were not up to par with the rest of his game.

Now that Graham is with the Seahawks, who are a power running team, Graham will have to become more of a blocker than he was with the New Orleans Saints. 

Early reports out of OTAs are Graham is doing a pretty good job in this role he has never really had to have before.

“I think Jimmy is going to be fine,” offensive line coach Tom Cable said, via Pro Football Talk. “He cares so much. The only setback was missing that first week so some of the foundational stuff he missed out on and we will catch him up on that – he kind of came back right in the middle of the install. If anything that is maybe where he is a little bit behind. But I think he is doing wonderful and maybe is a lot more than people understood him to be and he certainly has proven that every day here.”

Graham is under the impression he will be just fine at blocking. There was just no need for it on his previous team.

“Listen man, I’m 270 pounds,” Graham said. “I can block anybody I want to. It’s all about want to.”
