Daniel Graham entered the season with the reputation as a reliable blocker. Not anymore. Graham has developed into a superior blocker. He was one of the main reasons the Patriots averaged 4.1 yards per rush this season. He has the strength to neutralize bull rushers and is adept at chip-blocking blitzing ends and linebackers before turning and calling for the ball. He finished the regular season with 30 catches for 364 yards. He had a career-high seven touchdowns and averaged a career-best 12.1 yards per catch.
