He was a successful undrafted RB before undrafted RBs were cool. Mr. August made a nice career for himself.

Priest Holmes predates Graham coming into the league… and he’ll always think undrafted RBs are cool.

John Settle, Kevin Mack, James Allen, Dominic Rhodes, James Allen, and an entire slew of RBs undrafted before Graham and still ran for over 1000 yards during a season in their career think that they’re pretty cool too.

This guy should have been the starter right after Caddy got hurt the first time, but he never complained and just did what was asked of him. I hope someone picks him up and he gets a chance to put in work just to show the Bucs what they had. And im a die hard Bucs fan. Stay classy Graham!

All class, all about the team! He would do anything ever asked. One week he was was starting at fullback and Cadillac went down on 1st series. Earnest went for over 120 on 25 carries and went into the game not planning to get a carry.

I loved his style as a tailback…just one cut and go. The Bucs will miss him on and off the field.

Yeah right if Kevin Faulk is still playing Earnest will catch on somewhere probably mid season as an injury replacement. The guy can play tailback and fullback and CAN CATCH out of the backfield.

As a Bucs fan i predicted our season would go downhill as soon as we lost him last year. He’s a solid dump off, a great blocker, and he can give you good goal line looks.

Good Luck Graham, Hopefully some of your class rubbed off on Legarrett. (though I doubt it)

Good luck, Earnest. Let’s hope younger players are smart enough to follow your classy example, on and off the field.

This is how it’s done, T.O. Classy. Not kicking screaming whining and crying when the field lights go out.

One of the absolute best people ever to put on a Bucs uniform. A true pro, and just a great human being. He never was a star, but you could always count on him. Fantastic member of the community, as well, during a time when the Bucs were sorely lacking men like him. The fact that he can recognize when he is done also reflects how intelligent he is (sometimes it is tough to say that about UF players–even coming from an alum like myself.)

Absolute Class Act…Did everything he was ever asked, and did it well.

WHile his numbers won’t warrant it, I’d like to see his Name in the Bucs ring of honour one day…Nice Career EG, especially for an undrafted RB

Stay Classy

Good Luck, Earnest. He always played well against my Saints whenever they played. Much respect here.
