Jimmy Graham discussed his recent terrifying cycling accident on Thursday during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."
Former Green Bay Packers LB A.J. Hawk revealed on Wednesday's show that the former tight end was hit by a car while riding his bike earlier this week in Miami. Graham explained he was likely moving at about 20 mph, while the driver was going 20 to 25 mph. He suffered a leg wound, and he ripped all the skin off his back during the incident.
"I started cycling last year because I wanted to stay in shape after football and I fell in love with it..

This week's close call comes just two years after the five-time Pro Bowler avoided injury after being involved in a rollover car accident, also in Miami.
The 36-year-old Graham is living quite an adventurous lifestyle in his post-NFL days. He's a commercial pilot, living on a sailboat and also said Thursday that during the first 10 years of his football career he earned 10 different licenses.

Graham said he was contacted by a couple of NFL teams last year about playing but turned them down.
As if his cycling and flying adventures weren't impressive enough, Graham also revealed Thursday that he plans to sail solo around the world when he's 40.
