When Jimmy Graham was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks, lots of people were in shock, including the tight end himself, but no one took it harder than his biggest fan, 7-year-old Lexia, who cried and promised to follow Graham to his new team.

Now Graham has reached out Lexia and her mom, doing so while they were appearing on Sportscenter, and offered to fly her and her family out to Seattle for the team's first home game.

Lexia's mother, Ashley Ann, said she films a lot of her interaction with Lexia so she can send them to her father, who is serving in the military overseas, and knew he would want to see her reaction to the Graham trade.
