Jimmy Graham Shining in Shockey's Absence

Jimmy Graham looks more intriguing every day Jeremy Shockey does not practice. The veteran tight end bumped knees with a teammate in a workout, he said, and is still sidelined.

Meanwhile, here comes Graham, a rookie tight end who played basketball -- and some football -- at the University of Miami and can run and jump and look spectacular for a guy his size.

He has makeup, too. I was at the Miami-Virginia Tech game last season when Graham dropped a key pass that would have kick-started the Hurricanes in the big road game in Blacksburg. Graham never blamed the monsoon conditions. Said he should have made the grab. Graham sat against a wall in the interview room and answered every question about ruining a UM comeback.

That's makeup.
