The production of Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham has taken a dip recently. At the start of the 2019 season, he wanted to “shut a lot of people up.” After a 2018 campaign in which he came away with 55 catches for 636 yards and two touchdowns, he hasn't done too much to end a lot of the criticisms for him through this season.
He is on pace for career-lows in both receptions and receiving yards as the Packers make their way to the midway point of the season. However, he's waiting patiently for when his “time will come” for Green Bay.
“Last week, we were able to connect on some of those times. Hopefully we can just kind of keep building on that, and I take hold of those opportunities when those opportunities present themselves.”
Graham is happy that the team is 6-1 at this point in the season and that he “doesn't check stats.” He was able to put together a season-high 65 receiving yards and one touchdown last game against the Oakland Raiders. However, he and the team are hoping for the production that he put together before being a part of the team when he was a five-time Pro Bowler and 2013 All-Pro.
It's uncertain when his time will come and when the massive production will happen for the 33-year-old tight end. But the team should be able to utilize him more in more situations as the team gets closer and closer to the playoffs and the team is in need of more receiver help.
