Berni Breen I was born and raised in New Orleans and therefore a hard core Saints fan. jimmy Graham is one of the special ones on and off,the field. I wasn't aware of his piloting prowess...very impressive. Jimmy, how about we get you up in something a bit faster, like a Lancair Evolution, a Lancair IV or maybe a Lancair Legacy. I think 300 MPH would suit you much better!
Watch the bravado Jimmy. The last time a pilot publicly joked, "We're going to get our airplane washed" was in a Delta L-1011 just before it encountered a microburst and crashed on approach to DFW.
He's one of few NFL stars whose name you'll never see show up in a police blotter.
Good on him!
Good on him!

A pro football player who doesn't hang his name out there for all to see...and flys for Angel Flight. A definate role model if there ever was one!
Great to hear about a celebrity athlete being a true role model. The NFL needs more guys like that.
what an amazing story of personal triumph. i have a new favorite football player. sounds like a great kid.
