Throughout his career, he always wanted to stay focused and challenge himself mentally. Aaron Rodgers & Russell Wilson‘s ex-teammate, Jimmy Graham, left the NFL to focus on other pursuits. Over a period of 10 years, he obtained licenses for various types of aircraft, such as commercial helicopters, commercial multi/single-engine planes, seaplanes, and even aerobatic planes.

The former All-Pro TE’s dedication to fitness led him to embrace cycling while enjoying time on his boat. In a conversation between AJ Hawk and former TE, the focus shifted from discussing Starlink internet on his boat to a harrowing incident involving a recent car accident. Legend TE recounts the details of the collision, describing the injuries he sustained and emphasizing the dangers of cycling in Miami.

Jimmy Graham reveals adventure has its drawbacks

36 yo celebrated for three All-Pro selections, 12 seasons in the league, and a 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination, Graham, played for the Bears, Packers, and Seahawks, but his NFL peak occurred with the Saints. On the Pat McAfee Show, he revealed that the right opportunity to resume his career did not arise. During his college years in Miami, the 6-foot-7 Graham displayed exceptional talent as a basketball player. In an online conversation, Hawk asked Jimmy to show his calf and tell the story of what happened when he was hit by a car a few days ago, getting struck from the side.

Jimmy Graham is explaining that he injured his leg while returning from a place called ‘Key [Biscayne]’ in Miami, The accident caused him to lose skin on his back and suffer a large cut. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet, which protected his head. Graham tells- “Well, right now, my leg is wrapped up. Basically, I was coming back from the Key. We have great cyclists here in Miami. I started cycling last year to stay in shape on the boat. I fell in love with it. We have guys like Ray Lewis, and Desmond Howard, riding every week.”

Further, he explained the accident, “I was on my way back to the boat when a car in the one lane didn’t see me because the sun was coming up. He took a left and T-boned me. I was going about 20 mph, and he was probably going 20-25 mph. I ripped all the skin off my back, got a big laceration. Luckily, I had a helmet on. He hit my left side, shattering the carbon fiber on my bike in six different places. Then, he ran into my leg. At first, I thought I shattered my leg, but it turned out to be a deep bruise. All those years of punishment in the NFL kind of built up calluses.”

With all best wishes, Jimmy is right now doing good with Elon Musk Starlink in his private boat.

The Dangers of Miami 

AJ Hawk asked Jimmy Graham if he was currently on his boat and using Starlink internet.” Are you on your boat right now and using Starlink Internet? Hopefully, it works well; it would be good for Elon Musk. I want to see how this works out live on air if your connection is good.” Hawk expressed hope that the internet connection would function properly, & mentioned his desire to observe the live on-air demonstration if the connection was reliable.

However, when Hawk asks, “Is that your first time getting hit by a car?” Graham mentions that Miami, the place where it happened, can be dangerous because people are often in a rush and distracted by their phones and said- “Yeah, that’s the first time I’ve been hit by a car. Miami is a little dangerous; everyone is in a hurry and on their phones. It’s almost like the Wild West down here. Your antenna is always up, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get out of the way. I was going too fast, and he just didn’t see me at all.” AJ admits & highlighted a recurring issue faced by cyclists in Florida: videos on YouTube showcasing bike accidents, emphasizing the dangers they encounter on the roads.
