Jimmy Graham says he was “basically forced to get the shot”

The NFL Players Association has made it clear that it will fight any attempt by the NFL to force players to get vaccinated. But the NFLPA is advocating forcing vaccinated players to get tested for COVID-19 more frequently, and Bears tight end Jimmy Graham appears to be upset with his union over the latest developments.

Graham posted the NFLPA memo urging more frequent mandatory testing of vaccinated players on Twitter, and Graham indicated he was not on board.

“Was basically forced to get vaccinated. Now I’m just confused. @NFLPA, ”Graham wrote.

Graham did the right thing by getting the vaccine, whether he felt “essentially forced” or not. But he is surely not the only player who is now wondering why his union is advocating that management force him to get tested more frequently, having already done the responsible thing and received the COVID-19 vaccine.
