During an episode of the KJ All Day Show with KJ Wright, the topic of discussion shifted to the realm of tight ends in the NFL. Luke Willson, a former tight end for the Seattle Seahawks, made a noteworthy statement that caught the attention of football enthusiasts everywhere. Willson boldly claimed that if Jimmy Graham had not been traded to Seattle, he would be in the conversation for the best tight end of all time.
“You want a real take. If Jimmy Graham doesn’t get traded to the Seattle Seahawks, he is. If he stays healthy, he is in the conversation for the best tight end of all time,” says Willson.
“Yes, 100 percent,” replied KJ Wright.
The conversation then shifted to Travis Kelce, the talented tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Willson and Wright acknowledged Kelce’s immense impact on the game and his potential to be regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time once his career reaches its culmination. They marveled at Kelce’s exceptional athleticism, remarkable receiving skills, and his ability to make game-changing plays on the field.
The dialogue surrounding Jimmy Graham and Travis Kelce ignited a spirited discussion on the legacy and impact of tight ends throughout NFL history.
Willson added, “We’re talking about Travis Kelsey being when he’s done one of the best sightings all the time, and rightfully so. Jimmy Graham is right in that conversation if he does not get traded in Seattle, Jimmy.”
The show became a platform for reflecting on the extraordinary contributions made by the likes of Tony Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski, and Shannon Sharpe, among others. Willson and Wright’s assessment of Graham and Kelce shed light on the remarkable talents that have graced the tight end position, creating a dialogue that captivated football fans and sparked debates about the greatest players to have played the game.
