Saints’ Jimmy Graham Done Celebrating In Stands After Fan ‘Groped’ Him
The NFL may have found a way to stop New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham from celebrating touchdowns after he said he will no longer jump into the stands to celebrate his scores after he was felt up by a fan
Jimmy Graham finally stopped dunking the football over the goalposts after the NFL fined him twice, and defenses have been able to slow him down on the field, but one fan who “groped” the All-Pro tight end has the record-breaking tight end swearing off jumping into the stands.

“That’ll probably be my last one after I got groped up,” Graham said, via Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times Picayune. “It was a moment in the game and I just wanted to go and thank all the fans for being there. Some people were trying to thank me a little too much.”
After scoring a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday, one fan dressed as The Joker from the Batman movies got a little too friendly with Graham and felt it was appropriate to thank him by grabbing his a** as a sign of appreciation.
Some fans show their support by wearing a player’s jersey, cheering at the top of their lungs or painting their face. At least one Saints fan showed support by grabbing the tight end’s rear end.
I wonder if this ever happens at Lambeau Field where Green Bay Packers have been jumping into the seats in the end zone for decades. All this time and no grabbing of the posterior of Brett Favre, Jordy Nelson or any other members of the Packers who have made a habit out of the “Lambeau Leap.”
