Alex Khvatov:
Describe your experience at the 2013 Shrine Game
thus far.
Ray Graham:
It has been good. We were blessed to go to the
Shriners Hospital. Those kids loved us, and we
loved them. It was good. I had a chance to
meet new people and to see different players
here. It is a great feeling.
Alex Khvatov:
What is your most memorable moment here during
the first two days?
Ray Graham:
It is definitely the Shriners Hospital. The
kids smiled when they saw us coming in. It was
just priceless. It is definitely bigger than
just putting these pads and cleats on. The kids
loved us.
Alex Khvatov:
You have been one of the top players on the East
squad during the first two practices, what have
been the biggest keys for you?
Ray Graham:
I am just going hard on every play. I am trying
to make a name for myself here. I am trying to
get better on every play.
Alex Khvatov:
What are your strengths on the football field?
Ray Graham:
I pick up the schemes quickly. I learn very
quickly. I like my chances one on one against
the defender. I also do a good job catching the
ball out of the backfield.
Alex Khvatov:
What areas of your game are you trying to
improve upon this week?
Ray Graham:
I am just trying to show them that I have gained
my explosiveness back. Let them know that I am
here to get better.
Alex Khvatov:
What players have stood out to you on the East
squad?
Ray Graham:
I like the linebackers. They have stood out.
Gerald Hodges is making a lot of plays. Sio
Moore from UConn is standing out as well. I
like the linebackers because that is who I am
always dealing with.
Alex Khvatov:
Tell me about your career at Pittsburgh.
Ray Graham:
It was good. We have been through a lot of
coaches during my time there. It was a good
time. The sky is the limit, and only the strong
survive. That is what I have learned. Dealing
with all of those coaching changes, players
could have easily transferred or could have just
left. We stayed strong and stuck together as a
family.
Alex Khvatov:
Finish the sentence, Ray Graham is….
Ray Graham:
I am a good dude. I am a relaxed guy. I am
always chilling. I am always looking to get
better as a football player. I take football
very seriously. I always watch film or other
running backs in order to get better in
general.
