New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, for his week three performance against the Arizona Cardinals.

In a 31-7 win for the Saints, Graham caught nine passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

The 26-year old Graham, a third-round pick by the Saints in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Miami (Florida), is off to a great start in the 2013 NFL season. Through the first three games, he has 23 receptions for 358 yards, with four touchdowns.

In his still brief four-year career, Graham's best season came in 2011, when he caught 99 balls for 1,310 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Graham, and the Saints, who are 3-0 on the season, host the undefeated Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
