Graham was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 5th round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Graham registered his first career interception on October 19, 2008 off of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Gus Frerotte. Graham also recorded 91 tackles in 2008.

Graham was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2011 after a season in which he recorded 16 total tackles, deflected three passes, forced a fumble, and caught three interceptions.

Baltimore Ravens

Graham signed with the Baltimore Ravens on March 23, 2012. Graham said that upon signing with the Ravens, he looks to see more time on defense, as well as continuing his solid special teams play.

Graham had a limited role on defense at first, but injuries to Lardarius Webb and Jimmy Smith helped earn him more playing time.

Graham caught his 5th career interception November 18, 2012 on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He returned the ball 20 yards in a 13-10 win.

He would have his second interception against the Steelers two weeks later.

Graham was named the CBS player of the game for the Baltimore Ravens' 2012 Divisional round playoff game against the top seeded Denver Broncos. In this game, Graham intercepted two Peyton Manning passes and made 8 tackles. Graham returned his first interception of the game 39 yards for a touchdown, giving the Ravens a 14-7 lead midway through the first quarter. Graham's second interception of the game occurred in overtime and led to a Ravens game-winning field goal, advancing the team to the AFC championship game. The Ravens entered the game as 9.5 point underdogs, but won the game in double overtime, 38-35, thanks in part to Graham's performance. Graham would call joining the Ravens the second best decision of his life, behind marrying his wife. Graham earned his first Super Bowl ring on February 3, 2013, when the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.
