With the 2025 season just around the corner, All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham is receiving a ton of love from NFL fans. 

Graham, 38, started his career with the New Orleans Saints in 2010. After earning Pro Bowl honors in 2011, 2013 and 2014, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks. He then spent time on the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears before returning to the Big Easy last season.

During the summer of 2024, Graham told ESPN, "I just want to make sure when I retire, it's as a Saint, and it's when they want me to." On Tuesday, he fulfilled that promise. 

Graham let the world know that he'll retire from the NFL as a member of the Saints. He'll walk away from the gridiron with 719 career receptions for 8,545 yards and 89 touchdowns.

Saints fans made it clear Graham will always hold a special place in their hearts.

"The most dominant player I’ve seen play in black and gold. Forever a legend, Jimmy," one fan said.

"You have long been one of my favorite Saints players of all time. Sending you all the love, Jimmy," another fan said.

"We love you Jimmy! Thanks for coming home," a Saints fan wrote on X.

"Absolute legend, thank you for all the memories! Will never forget seeing that last touchdown in person at the dome in December '23," another social media user commented. 

If you include playoff stats, Graham is fifth all-time in receiving touchdowns for tight ends. Who knows? Maybe he'll end up in Canton someday. 

In the meantime, Graham is going to explore the world. He recently completed a rowing expedition across the Arctic Ocean.
