Attitude shows up sooner or later

"But Graff's talent has been a secret only to the public, not his teammates or coaches. On his first day at practice last year, the walk-on from Rummel intercepted two passes from former LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux and on kickoff coverage stood his ground after a violent, full-speed collision with fullback Quinn Johnson that drew appreciative ooohs and aaahs from players on the sideline.

Johnson, then a junior and a returning letterman, is listed on the roster at 6 feet 2, 262 pounds. Graff weighs in at 5-11, 171. Coach Les Miles said he gathered his assistants immediately afterward and said: Who is this kid?

Perrilloux was less enthused, Graff said.

"He came up to me and told me I needed to chill, that I was just on the scout team, and I said, 'Hey, I'm just trying to make a name for myself,' " Graff said."

A good example of why you know who is no longer here!
