NFL stars tend to be multi-faceted. Whether it’s Tyreek Hill and his love for sprinting or Tom Brady dabbling in golf, NFL athletes always find a way to excel in more than one sport.

The fun-filled activity did not end so well for the 5x Pro Bowler, as an unfortunate incident took place, and things could have been a lot worse.

Chicago Bears was the last team that Jimmy Graham represented. Even though the five-time Pro Bowler has not officially retired, Graham has been without a team since 2021. His much-celebrated stints with New Orleans Saints showcased the peak of Graham’s prowess, as he forged an unfathomable connection with legendary quarterback Drew Bress.

What has been Graham up to nowadays? The answer is just as amusing as Graham’s illustrious career. Turns out Jimmy Graham spends his time cycling and training to embark on a voyage around the world.

It was while enjoying his love for cycling that Graham barely escaped a near-death experience. Graham’s long-time friend and former NFL linebacker AJ Hawk divulged the details on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’.

He says he did more damage to the car than the car did to him, He has a slice in his calf that looked like he had worms growing out of it. It was so deep and all the stuff in there you could see, and now he has tons of stitches.” expressed Hawk.

AJ Hawk shared, “He’s on a boat and he has somebody like a captain that trains him and teaches him everything, Then, he goes on little short two-or-three-day trips now.
