Why the Bears don’t need Jimmy Graham to be the Terminator

Kevin Toliver has a nickname for Jimmy Graham. He told the Bears tight end about it the other day.

“He looks just like the Terminator,” the cornerback said. “He walks like him and everything. He’s a beast. He’s a freak.”

The comparison reflects well on Graham’s offseason workout plan, driven by one of the worst years of his career. It shows the admiration his new teammates have for Graham, who turns 34 in November and first became a legitimate star when many were in high school. The five-time Pro Bowl player has dominated red-zone drills through three padded practices, spiking balls or heaving them back to his quarterback in celebration.
