​We’ve reached the tight ends on the All-NFC South Team of the 2010s, but did Jimmy Graham do enough to climb ahead of Greg Olsen and Tony Gonzalez? Those two greats were seen as the best players of their generation (at least until Graham and Rob Gronkowski came along). With Graham only spending five years in the NFC South before the Saints traded him, he might have his work cut out for him in making the first team.One key stat we’re relying on is Approximate Value from Pro Football Reference, which PFR defines as “an attempt to put a single number on the seasonal value of a player at any position from any year.” In practice, that means giving higher numbers to player who start more games, play more snaps, and do more to help their team win by racking up yards, scoring touchdowns, creating turnovers and sacking quarterbacks, and so on. We’re also assigning point values to being named a first-team All-Pro (ten points), second-team All-Pro (five points), and Pro Bowler (three points). And then we’re adding those numbers together. Remember, these are all-decade teams for the NFC South, which didn’t exist until 2002, and only contributions on the four teams in the division factor into our formula. So Drew Brees earning a Pro Bowl nod with the San Diego Chargers in 2005 doesn’t help him, for example.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJan 17, 2016; Charlotte, NC, USA; Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (88) scores a touchdown over the Seattle Seahawks during the second quarter in a NFC Divisional round playoff game at Bank of America Stadium.

Olsen earned three consecutive Pro Bowl nods from 2014 to 2016 (conspicuously, almost as soon as the Saints traded Graham) and remained a capable blocker even after his skills as a receiver began to fade.CHARLOTTE, NC – OCTOBER 30: Jimmy Graham #80 of the New Orleans Saints hurdles Roman Harper #41 of the Carolina Panthers during their game at Bank of America Stadium on October 30, 2014 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He went bar for bar with Rob Gronkowski in the early 2010s until a contract dispute led to the Saints trading him, and he was never the same player on other teams with different quarterbacks and play callers. As it stands, he’s a close runner-up for Olsen in this decade despite playing half as many years in the division.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJan 20, 2013; Atlanta, GA, USA; Atlanta Falcons tig
