T.J. Graham Signs With Panthers

Published

on

The Carolina Panthers signed one final player on Monday night to completely fill out their roster before camp started on Tuesday. That player was none other than former NC State wide receiver T.J. Graham.

In 2012, the Buffalo Bills selected Graham in the third round, with the 69th overall pick. In two seasons there, Graham caught 54 passes for 683 yards and three touchdowns, starting in 17 of the 31 games he played for the Bills. After being dropped from the Bills, Graham wore jerseys for the Titans, Jets and Saints, collecting only 7 receptions for 111 yards in 2014 and 2015, and failed to find a home in the NFL in 2016.

Graham’s chances of making the roster might not be high, but maybe his gifting in the return game will land him a spot. He holds the NC State record for most career kickoff return yards (3,153).
