Jimmy Graham on last play -- as safety

I have no doubt about The Jimmy's ability to stop a last second ATL score, just wondering if this scenario is something that would ever come up in practices? And is "safety" the correct term?

Excellent question. My wife asked the same question. I thought it was pretty smart of her to realize he was a big advantage.

The thought is, Atl was going to throw up a Hail Mary.
Who better to defend that than a 6-7 TE thats straight up beast mode at a jump ball?

They had time for one play. The Saints thought they were going for a hail mary. He was back that because he's the tallest guy with the most hops.

Safety is a term for last line of defense. So yes it's the correct term. And yes, I'm sure he practices that play.

That position on the field is the safety position, regardless of who is in the position. Just like when they move Graham from TE to the slot receiver, he is a "receiver" because he is in that position.
I am sure they practice it. Coach knows what he is doing and will never try something for the first time during a game.

There was some concern that The Jimmy might be rustled, but so long as the Falcon's are 2-9, God's work is being done.

Yes and Yes. And this isn't some new innovation either. Teams have done this for years. I am pretty sure I saw the lions do this with Calvin Johnson before also.
It's just more like whoever gives you the best shot at a jump ball.
They practice everything in the NFL, down to kneeling the ball.

yes most teams do it if they have a tall wr or te.
The lions have done it with calvin johnson, and the vikes and pats would do it with moss.

similarly Roman Harper has been the guy behind Brees for these. Can't remember who else did that while he was out. Anyone remember?

Thanks for y'all's replies . . . I understand why CSP positioned The Jimmy like this, just was unsure about it being very impromptu, or something out of the playbook. Though it would have made me so nervous, it'd been awesome to watch him thwart the Hail Mary. I think whatever throwing arm Natty Melt might have possessed is all washed up.
I enjoy this board tremendously.

No problem...in fact, when I saw Jimmy out there, I was also looking for Colston.
