2. Ball Skills

If he is not an elite athlete then how did he get on the field so young and hold up in the PAC-12? Sometimes you have to take a shot on traits. As a true freshman, Graham also led the team in interceptions with three.

As a sophomore, he led the team in passes defended and recorded a pick-six. Then, as a junior, he once again led the team in passes defended. Overall, he finished his career with 40 pass break-ups to go with 8 interceptions. That is impressive.

According to PFF, he recorded 7 forced incompletions and 17 coverage stops last year. He also dropped an interception. They gave him a better zone grade than man which does make sense.

Graham is not a player who does great following players and matching up in man, but he can read the quarterback’s eyes and make plays on the ball. This is a smart player, to say the least.
