It is the NFL offseason, which means players are out doing their own thing before gearing up for minicamps and OTA’s and really ramping up their preparation for the next season. One NFL player’s hobby has really caught our attention, and that is New Orleans Saints star tight end Jimmy Graham who has apparently added “Pilot” to his resume.

Graham posted a photo online that shows him flying a plane about the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and it is an incredible view of the city and a one of a kind photograph.

Here is the incredible photo from the New Orleans Saints Instagram account, that was initially posted on Jimmy Graham’s official Twitter account @TheJimmyGraham:

The caption read:

"How cool is this? Jimmy Graham flying a plane over the Mercedes-Benz Superdome"

Pretty cool, indeed.

It’s not every day that you get a photo fro this vantage point and especially not one with a star NFL player flying the plane. There is one thing that sticks out, though, Jimmy Graham looks incredibly uncomfortable being jammed in that cockpit.

You would think he could afford some customization with that NFL salary. After all, he did have enough money to buy his own plane.
