Best social media reactions to Jimmy Graham’s preseason TD catch with Saints
Jimmy Graham returned to the Caesars Superdome in Sunday night’s New Orleans Saints preseason game against the Houston Texans, capping an early possession with his first touchdown catch as a Saint in years. That immediately followed a 25-yard reception down the seam.
Sure, it’s just an exhibition game. But we’ll take it. Graham had a great relationship with fans prior to his trade back in 2015 and he’s expressed a ton of happiness and gratitude that he’ll be able to end his pro football career where it began.
Here’s what fans, former teammates, and media analysts are saying about Graham after his big play:
Love seeing Jimmy G back in the Dome!

Jimmy Graham was so fired up after that last big catch that he almost knocked over Dennis Allen on the sideline when he came over to congratulate him.

Jameis TD pass to Graham, who posted up and boxed out and made a defender look about 4 feet tall. Then, faked like he was gonna dunk the goalpost
