A former Seattle Seahawk has made history.
Jimmy Graham, a 13-year NFL veteran and an ex-Seahawks tight end, was part of a four-person rowing crew that rowed 584 nautical miles across the Arctic Ocean. The record was set in a little over 10 days, breaking the previous record for a four-person team of 15 days, 5 hours, and 32 minutes.
The crew included Graham, Andrew Tropp, Hannah Huppi, and John Huppi, the latter two of whom are alumni of Tulane University’s rowing team. On July 4, the crew departed from Tromsø, Norway, rowing around 584 nautical miles to Longyearbyen, Svalbard.
