Jimmy Graham #80 Joins Team 5 Foundation
TEAM5 is proud to announce that Jimmy Graham, a thirteen-year NFL veteran and five-time Pro Bowler, has joined our Board of Directors as an Advisor. Jimmy Was born November 24, 1986, and raised in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
Jimmy started his athletic career playing college basketball for the Miami Hurricanes and focused his education on marketing and management. His last year playing tight end on the football team led him to the National Football League.
Graham was initially drafted to the New Orleans Saints (#80), then the Seattle Seahawks, the Green Bay Packers, and the Chicago Bears after a thirteen-year pro career.
Jimmy earned his private pilot's license in 2011 and has since added complex airplanes, instrument airplanes, tailwheel, multi-engine, seaplanes, and helicopters to a list of his aviation accomplishments. In 2018 he then began working with amazing foundations to give back including The Jimmy Graham Foundation, the EAA Young Eagles Program, the Wounded Warrior Project, Angel Flight, Ignite, and now the Team 5 Foundation.
In 2025, Jimmy, along with three other team members, will empower the next generation in the Arctic Challenge, where they will row 1000km to attempt the world record. TEAM5 will be training and overlooking their medical needs before and during their expedition in July 2025.
We are honored to have such a pro-veteran athlete join our TEAM5 family and hold a Board of Director position as an Advisor. We encourage you to see his full list of accomplishments and pictures on our “Bio” page of Team Members.
