Per Esks.com, here are five things we should know about Grymes:

1. Grymes has 10 tattoos. All have a strong meaning of family behind them.

2. He is superstitious. If he has a good game, Grymes repeats everything he did on game day the following week.

3. He has a pit bull named Rocco.

4. He is a sneaker head with a shoe collection of 50+ pairs.

5. He wants a career in sports broadcasting when his playing career ends.

One thing we all know for sure, is he’s going to need to change his number for sure.

Good young player addition and camp body. Look forward to seeing if he has the talent to make the roster, especially with having Thurmond, Carroll, and Biggers up for free agency.
