New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, who had a remarkable personal odyssey from foster homes to NFL stardom, will be a part of a USA Network special this Friday evening. The show, to air at 6 p.m., features Graham mentoring a teenager in trouble.
The teenager in question is Ashton Randall, 14, of New Orleans. Randall’s father was murdered and his mother lost custody of him due to drug addiction, according to the network. He is thus about to enter a Boy’s Town foster home and Graham is with him to offer support.
Graham is one of four professional football stars in the program, called “NFL Characters Unite.” The show will also feature Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward, Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez and former Colts head coach and current NBC analyst Tony Dungy.
“These boys and girls, all they need is one person to believe in them,” Graham says in a promotional clip for the show.
