Jimmy Graham hurdling Roman Harper is the Saints Play of the Day
There are now just 19 days left until the 2025 New Orleans Saints season begins! To celebrate being under the 20-day threshold, let's have some fun with a more chaotic highlight than any one important moment in the team's history. Back in 2014, the Saints stumbled out of the gate. They had finished 11-5 and made it to the NFC Divisional round the year prior, so there were some expectations. New Orleans was 3-4 heading into their Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers and had won the week before. Drew Brees found star tight end Jimmy Graham early and often, including the specific play that we are highlighting today. The game was still tied with just under seven minutes left in the first quarter, when Brees targeted Graham on the run. Graham took the ball forward some more and hurdled former teammate Roman Harper en route to a 19-yard gain. The former basketball star's athletic gifts were on display as he had one of the smoothest hurdles you will ever see. It was surely made sweeter for him that he gained bragging rights over a former teammate who was now playing for a rival. You can watch the play for yourself here. New Orleans would finish the year 7-9 and then had that same record for the next two campaigns as well. New Orleans also traded Graham for Seattle Seahawks center Max Unger before the next season. The tight end later returned in 2023, for what would be the end of his career.

Browns have 'great opportunity' in joint practices against Super Bowl-winning Eagles
BEREA — Browns rookie defensive tackle Mason Graham has gotten numerous reps over the last couple of months against two of the better guards in the league — his teammates Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller. Graham's already received some outside competition because of the Browns' joint practice and preseason game at the Carolina Panthers. Things are going to step up this week, however, when Cleveland travels to Philadelphia to face the Eagles in two joint practices and another preseason game. For the No. 5 overall pick in April's NFL draft, it's a chance to go up against one of the best offensive lines in football, even with Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson sidelined with a meniscus injury suffered in practice Aug. 10. "Yeah, I mean, great opportunity," Graham said after practice Aug. 11. "They have a lot of great players up there. They work really well together. So it'd be a good challenge for us, our D line of going against them and our individual battles within that." It's not just Graham who's about to receive a step up in competition. For just about every Browns players on both sides of the ball, the chance to go against the team that won the most recent Super Bowl is a measuring stick to see where they are and what they need to do to get where they want to go. That's been a big reason why the Browns have made it a point to schedule joint practices with Philadelphia often during the six years Kevin Stefanski has been the coach and Andrew Berry has been the general manager. This will be the third time in four years they have done so, and the one year they didn't was when they played the Eagles last year in the regular season. 'It's a great test," Stefanski said. "I can't imagine there's a better combination of offensive line, defensive line, than the Eagles, who we're facing. So, it's an awesome test for our guys. And, again, I've been up close and seen this line when we practice against them — they're really well coached, they got great players. So, it's a great challenge for our guys.' The Browns only did one day of practice with the Panthers. That consisted of two seven-on-seven periods and two 11-on-11 periods with the teams actually going against each other. The additional day in Philadelphia will add a lot more context, even to what's occurred during the two days. That because it allows for more opportunities to get in reps between the teams, but also because it provides a second day to allow for adjustments to the first. "I thought that one day in Carolina was good and that was Week 1, so I think that was the right amount of work," Stefanski said. "I think in Week 2 of the preseason, I think both — I know our team is probably ready for a second day. We've done that — outside of last week, all of our joint practices have been two days. So obviously it allows you to get more of everything. It's more one-on-one work. It's two-minute drill, it's red zone, it just allows you to hit a little bit more situational ball.' It also means enough reps over those two days that most regulars for both teams will not play in the preseason game at the end of the week. That means no Joe Flacco, Myles Garrett, Jerry Jeudy or Denzel Ward for Cleveland, and no Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Carter or Cooper DeJean for Philadelphia. Those players will get their moments on the two days at Eagles headquarters. Those will be the most substantial reps of the preseason in many ways. "It's always great to be able to compete against other teams other than ourselves," Jeudy said Aug. 11. "So I'm more excited just going out there making plays and execute our play and doing what we're supposed to do."
