If New Orleans Saints fans entered Sunday’s game worried about the health of tight end Jimmy Graham, they had to be relieved by what they saw in Sunday’s preseason game against the Houston Texans.

Saints quarterback Jameis Winston connected with Graham on a pass that involved the tight end going up above the Texans defender to pull in a 25-yard reception.

Kevin Burkhardt, calling the game for a Fox national broadcast, showed more enthusiasm on the call than you’d see from most preseason games.

“What year is it, Greg?” Burkhardt shouted after Graham pulled in the pass.

Three plays later, Winston found Graham again – this time for a 3-yard touchdown that inspired another huge roar from the fans in the dome. 

Sunday’s game provided Graham’s first preseason action since missing the second game against the Los Angeles Chargers following what the Saints called a medical episode for the tight end in California.
