Daniel Graham was born in Torrance, California in November of 1978. Early in his childhood his family moved to Denver, Colorado where Daniel went on to play football at Thomas Jefferson high school. Daniel specialized at many positions in high school. He played tight end, outside linebacker, long snapper and place kicker. If playing all those position wasn't enough, he also played basketball and lettered three times.
His high school football stats were very impressive. Only playing in seven games his senior year, he managed to catch 33 passes for 741 yards, which if you average out, comes to an impressive 22.5 yards a catch. He also played defense, recording 29 tackles and 12 sacks.
Daniel played college ball for the Colorado Buffs. For the first two games of his freshman year, he played fullback before being switched over to tight end. After his senior year, he was named First-Team All-American and won the John Mackey award as the nations best tight end.
"With the 21st overall pick in the 2002 NFL draft, the New England Patriots select Tight End Daniel Graham, University of Colorado." Hearing those words changed Daniel Graham's life. The Tight End in New England's offensive system is primarily used as a blocker. So who better to get then Daniel Graham.
In New England, Graham established himself as one of the best if not the best blocking tight end in the NFL. But he also blossomed as a good receiver. Even in New England's system, Daniel was able to catch 83 passes. In 2006, Daniel was named the Patriot's offensive team caption, an honor which was well deserved.
At the end of the 2006 season, Daniel Graham became a free agent. He was the best free agent tight end available. He had many other teams he could've signed with but he chose the Broncos. He chose the Broncos because he was born a Bronco. he went to High School in Colorado, he went to college in Colorado, and his dad, Tom Graham, played for the Broncos during the 70's. On March 7, 2007, Graham agreed to a luxurious 5 year, $30 million deal with $15 million guaranteed.
Graham spent his first 2 years as a Bronco in Mike Shanahan's offensive system. In Shanahan's offense, he accumulated 56 catches while rotating time at tight end with team mate Tony Scheffler.
Now comes the 2009 season with a new coach Josh McDaniels. Josh McDaniels was with the Patriots organization when Graham played there. Josh is looking to bring a New England type offense to Denver except something will be a little different, the tight ends will be more involved in the passing game. This system will allow Graham to use his blocking skills along with his pass catching skills.
Daniel has proven to be an impact on the field and he has also made an impact off the field. The Daniel Graham foundation was created to support families from challenge to triumph by influencing youth and focusing on the areas of health, education, financial management, and community service.
Daniel Graham is an example of a true Denver Bronco.
first. score
ReplyDeletegood article chris
ReplyDeletethank you. aren't I so awesome
ReplyDeletenot really. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat no picture?? Sup with that?
ReplyDeleteHaha what up guys, saw dave thought I was doing something with the screen? I haven't touched it been away all day. Now got 15 members nice. And to Doc how do you know writing an article is as good as sex aren't you a little young?
ReplyDeleteso are we staying on this one?
ReplyDeleteDon't know?
ReplyDeleteYeah I think we should stay on this blog. The other one is getting close to 200.
ReplyDeleteGood article Chris... quite a few typos but not too bad. Nice job!
So what has been happening with you guys, other than what I know, like florio's dad and his new GPS.
ReplyDeleteDoc is probably trying to put a picture in his post.
ReplyDeleteYep the gps is crazy awesome
ReplyDeleteWhere everybody go?
ReplyDeleteright here g
ReplyDeleteNot much going on here. Have to wake up early, again, to meet with a school counselor about switching my degrees. Yip-ee.
ReplyDeletecool pic
ReplyDeleteswitching to what?
ReplyDeleteIs it one that has the voice thing. There are a number of ones you can download, like a sluty voice or an abusive voice.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA, what possessed him to post that picture in his article?? LOL Too funny!!
ReplyDeleteI have a chick with an aussie accent
ReplyDeleteActually I did it thought it went well with the Born a Bronco thing.
ReplyDeleteAlso an Aussie chick that would be awesome. Does she say G'Day mate?
I was set to get an AA degree and I didn't want to go through with it and have to take a bunch of classes that mean nothing to me like science and math while also wasting my time taking those classes. So I'm switching to a business degree, classes are more fun and most of them are with the same teacher who I just adore. Plus it will take me less time to get that than an AA. Probably will graduate next spring, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteno. she doesn't strike up a conversation with you. she just tells you where to go.
ReplyDeleteNo matter who put the picture up, its kinda funny. Didn't see that one coming.
ReplyDeleteSo are you doing commerce and management classes.
ReplyDeleteWell I've already taken over half of the classes I need for this degree, only 5 or 6 away from graduation. I already have my switch approved I just need to know in depth what and how many exact classes I have left. But yeah I've already taken business management, communications, marketing, accounting (barely survived that!). And this fall I'm taking entreprenuership, an HR class and 2 others that count for the degree.
ReplyDeletehey guys, I'm back. sorry I was gone. had to go bury a dead body in my backyard.
ReplyDeletethats nice chris
ReplyDeleteI was going to throw it in the lake. decided I would bury it instead.
ReplyDeleteAussie, can you put up a different picture of Daniel Graham? I don't know how.
ReplyDeleteThen last spring I took what they call Internship classes... they're not an actual internship (doesn't make any sense why they call it that but they do) and the teacher gives you at least 10 choices on what you could do, like make a career plan like I did or anything related to business. So they have an Internship 1 & 2 so the first one goes for the first 8 weeks and the 2nd goes for the last 8 weeks. For some reason I decided to wait on taking the 2nd one so I'll have to come up with something else to do. The career plan I did was awesome, worth 200 pts, he told me it was one of the best career plans he's ever seen. Gotten A's in all his classes. I don't mind doing the work, would rather take business classes for the rest of my life than another science class. Last time I did that, teacher failed me cause I got her in trouble!! haha, don't mess with me. Was so worth though.
ReplyDeleteyo momma's nice
ReplyDeleteten more minutes til showtime
ReplyDeleteI will change pic and what body did you bury?
ReplyDeletethanks Aussie.
ReplyDeleteThat better? Oh and what body?

ReplyDeletemy "bed time" was 11... remember?
ReplyDeleteyou guys dared me to stay up till 11:30.
ok well here's the story. I tied my shoes together and was trying to get them stuck on a telephone wire and when I threw them up I missed and they hit Maria Ray in the head. I've been hiding the body in my basement under my bed the last few days but the body is starting to smell really bad so I decided once my parents went to sleep tonight I would bury her body in my backyard. I had to put rocks on top of the burial spot because my dog was trying to dig out the body.
ReplyDeleteHaha and you passed with flying colours, so what time are you going for?
ReplyDeleteno we dared you to stay up until 1230.
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny Doc, our little murder.

ReplyDeleteWhen I went to England 8 years ago, every time we left somewhere they always said Cheerio! I couldn't stop laughing. Was so funny.

ReplyDeleteyes Broncochick is some weird Bronco fan who thought it would be funny to post as a girl.
ReplyDeleteWhen you find that out???
ReplyDeleteI know this stuff. why did they avoid the question? or, it could be some trans who became a girl and doesn't want to talk bout it.
ReplyDeleteso she never really said. Correct?
ReplyDeleteno she didn't say.
ReplyDeleteokay. I have a feeling she was one of those people that complained about us blogging on DB.com
ReplyDeleteDamn it so close
ReplyDeleteprobably. oh well. its because she was jealous. thats why she wanted us to hang out with her at a mall.
ReplyDeleteprobably
ReplyDeleteare you guys tech geeks?
ReplyDeleteIm not. I think Aussie might be.
ReplyDeleteNot a geek, but I know alot about technology you?
ReplyDeleteok here is a weird question and you don't have to answer if you don't want to. does anybody have any diseases or body deformations?
ReplyDeleteim deathly allergic to peanuts.
ReplyDeleteNothing 100% percent normal, you Doc?
ReplyDeletethat sucks. my dad is allergic to cats.
ReplyDelete100% normal to.
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny how 50 years ago no one was allergic to anything, nowadays people can be allergic to a number of things, What changed?
ReplyDeletei know a lot of technology.
ReplyDeleteFlorio, so if I wanted to murder you all I would have to do is put nuts in you're mouth?
ReplyDeleteeeewwwwwww, wait, that sounded really disgusting.
ReplyDeletehand sanitizer. People don't let germs touch them. So they really don't have "tough skin" so when thy come in contact with an allergen their body doesn't know what to think and attacks it thus giving you symptoms
ReplyDeleteor lace my cup with peanut oil.
ReplyDeletenew question, what cell phone carrier do you use?
ReplyDeleteqwest
ReplyDeletewhat is qwest?
ReplyDeleteTelstra, aussie company and I got to say Doc that was gross before.

ReplyDeletenope. I just know all those wrestling shows are fake. not sure if it was UFC but I watched one of those wrestling shows and it was such BS. thats just not my cup of tea.
ReplyDeletei dont care for ufc
ReplyDeleteI really want to go to sleep right now but I can't.
ReplyDeleteHaha UFC isn't wrestling, that is WWE and what not. The Ultimate Fighting Championship is where they get fights from all different types of martial arts backgrounds and let them at it. It is brutal Dave even knows some guys that compete in it.
ReplyDeleteso. that doesn't change the way i feel about it. i still dont like it.
ReplyDeleteyou have to go to sleep first Florio. I've been ragging on you for going to sleep early and if I go before you do then I would loose my pride.

ReplyDeleteYeah it is not everyone's cup of tea. And I will beat you both, you both will be in bed and I will still be here, wahahaha
ReplyDeletewait one second. you are one hour behind me
ReplyDeleteya Im not really into the fighting stuff. I can understand fighting someone in self defense but in a sport? it just doesn't seem right.
ReplyDeleteI like more the technique then the fighting, the way they go about they work is amazing.
ReplyDeletewest coast always wins baby!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's late and everyone is gone, sniff, sniff. Oh well. I saw you guys posting about UFC? I know Matt Hughes and have met Tim Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteFunny night. I got an email from Ashley with an attachment of her article to proofread and help out with. The attachment wouldn't open so I came to the blog and saw Daniel Graham. I assumed it was hers and "copied and pasted" it to an email to Ash, to change. I did all the punctuation suggestions and rearranging of words and sent it to her, LOL! She will see that and say "What the hell is Dave thinking? LOL. Anyways, I sent her another email saying "Nevermind." I resent it to Doc, if he wants to clean it up any. Still a good article though.
Everybody assumed Josh would get rid of Graham Because NE wouldn't keep him? They forgot to realize that Belichoke wouldn't bring him back, not Josh.
Silly silly Dave!! HAHAHAHAHA, you are too funny!!
ReplyDeleteWorst part was, I was sober.......
ReplyDeletehaha, thanks Dave. I will clean up the punctuation and errors.
ReplyDeleteThat makes it even more funny Dave! Yeah I read you had coffee instead of beer, sounds like you were wired on caffeine!! hahahahaha
ReplyDeletewats up guys
ReplyDeleteBroncos#80. You always come on when we're gone and I always leave when others come on? Hmmmm. Anyways, I off till this evening. Sorry...
