Jimmy Graham is one of the most beloved New Orleans Saints players in franchise history. He was productive and an emotional leader amongst his teammates.
The former Saints tight end has moved on from football, but he's taking on more athletic achievements. He's chasing his dreams that reach far past the gridiron.
Jimmy Graham is participating in the Arctic Challenge.
What is the Arctic Challenge? This is how the mission is described on their website.
Undertaking the challenge of a lifetime, the team will row 1000 Kilometer across the unforgiving Arctic Ocean. In a 9.6 Meter man-powered boat, they will face polar storms, brutal temperatures, and wildlife encounters, all while pushing the limits of human endurance.
Graham has always been a bold player on the football field, but he's continuing a unique, active lifestyle off the field, too. Graham seemingly retired on social media earlier this offseason.
The best part is definitely the why for the challenge. The Challenge has partnered with three charities that will be supporting during the row: Covenant House, the Jimmy Graham Foundation, and Laureus Sport for Good USA, according to the Saints team website.
Graham is enjoying doing an impressive feat for a great cause. That won't surprise a single Saints fan.
