University of Miami incoming prep star Will Mallory, the other half of the soon-to-be No. 1 freshman tight-end tandem in the nation, said he was about 12 years old when former UM tight end Jimmy Graham would sneak him "snacks and treats under the table" during New Orleans Saints' position meetings.
Mallory was in fourth grade in 2010 when he got to know Jeremy Shockey and watched him catch the go-ahead touchdown at Hard Rock Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl.
Then, he met Shockey again seven years later when he attended coach Mark Richt's 2017 Paradise Camp.
