Dolphins' 'Yale guy' Patrick Graham, who dreamed of CIA, seeks smart players

Patrick Graham had his mind made up. He was going to Yale and choosing the undercover life of being a CIA agent. Two decades later, he can laugh at that early college aspiration that didn't work out. He's sure he made the right choice.

"If you go back and dig it up, there's film of it," Graham said. "But I found out early on when I got to school, chemical engineering wasn't for me and the CIA wasn't going to happen, either."

Graham is using his intelligence for football purposes, and though his new gig as Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator isn't covert like his former career path, he will demand that his players be extremely smart.
