About Chris Gragg in brief
Christopher Le’Edward Gragg was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks and was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Gragg played tight end for the Bills for three seasons. He signed with the New York Jets in 2017, but did not play any regular-season games for the team after a preseason injury. He indicated he was retired from the NFL as of December 2019 and, as of September 2020, works as an assistant coach for the Memphis Tigers football team. He is the son of Tenita and Kelvin Gragg, both of whom worked as educators. In July 2007, Gragg committed to the University of Arkansas, as did three other players from Warren. In spring 2009, he converted from a wide receiver into a tight end, and was listed as the number-three tight end on the Razorbacks’ depth chart. In his freshman season, he caught a 25-yard pass from quarterback Casey Dick on fourth down and one to continue a drive that ended with a game-winning touchdown. The catch was Gragg’s only reception in 2008. He was given a medical redshirt during the 2009 season after he dislocated his ankle in a preseason practice.
In September 2010, he replaced D. J. Williams, a first-string tight end who graduated in 2010, as Arkansas’ number three tight end. The Razorbacks ended the year with a 10–3 record, and were invited to play in the Sugar Bowl against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Arkansas finished the year ranked sixth in the BCS standings. In the 2012 Cotton Bowl Classic, the team defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 29–16: Gragg tied a team record for most wins in a season with 41. After the game, the Harris Interactive College Football Coaches’ Poll ranked Arkansas as the third-best team in the nation behind the Louisiana State University Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The team lost to the Tigers on November 25, and the Tigers fell out of contention for the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game. The game was played in which the top two teams in the poll played at a game in which two teams played at the top of the standings. Arkansas won the game 29-16: Gragg caught 8 passes for 119 yards, both career highs.
