Bucs Bachelors

NAME: Thomas Jones

AGE: 24

HT/WT: 5-10, 230

SALARY: $535,500

PERFECT DATE: The perfect date for me is probably going to dinner and the movies. I like the movies. Chilling out. That's my thing. I love the movies. It breaks the monotony of things.

HOBBIES: I like playing Playstation and the Xbox. I like to free-style (rapping). I can to do a little sumpin' sumpin'. You know how that goes. And I like to chill with my friends.

THREE ADJECTIVES THAT DESCRIBE YOU: Good sense of humor. A homebody. Easy going.

WHY YOU'RE NOT MARRIED: "I don't have a significant other. I had one, but it didn't work out. It was too stressful. I'm trying to focus on football and my job. Right now it's not my main focus. But I'm open to suggestions."

NAME: Earnest Graham.

HT/WT: 5-9, 215.

POSITION: Running back.

COLLEGE: Florida.

BACK IN THE DAY: Graham finished his career as the Gators' fifth-leading rusher with 3,065 yards. His 33 rushing TDs ranked third and 3,468 all-purpose yards ninth on the school lists. A Naples native, Graham was Florida's Mr. Football in 1997.

TO MAKE THE TEAM: The Bucs have several question marks at running back, so there might be room for a versatile runner, pass-catcher and blocker in the mix. Graham is small but solid. He needs to impress coaches with his toughness and avoid injuries.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Graham has a deep, sensitive side. He is a student of the arts, enjoying literature, music and writing poetry.

QUOTE: "It's great to sign with the Super Bowl champion. It's great to come in and see that winning attitude. You either get with it or you don't, and you better get with it."
