Breaking: Eagles’ Legend Brandon Graham Receives Prestigious NFL Award After…
Defensive star Brandon Graham has been a cornerstone of the Philadelphia Eagles since being drafted 15 seasons ago in 2010, and throughout it all, he has remained one of the most consistent players in the NFL. Over the course of his career, Graham has even played the most games in franchise history.
As his career nears its end, Graham is aware of the inevitable but made it clear after suffering a tricep injury that ended his season a few weeks ago that he wants to play a full season before retiring. However, he is content if that’s not in the cards for him.
A fan favorite, a phenomenal football player, and an even more prolific human being, Graham has shown his true character throughout his entire career in Philadelphia, particularly this season.
His off-the-field impact has been recognized, and on Thursday, the NFL announced that Graham, along with 31 others, was nominated for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Graham is the representative for the Eagles organization.
There is no award in the NFL with more meaning and impact than this one, and Graham is more than deserving of being a candidate after all he has done for the city of Philadelphia.
While athletes are often judged by their on-field performance, it’s the impact they leave off the field that is truly everlasting. Graham, who ranks 3rd all-time in Eagles history in sacks, is a Super Bowl champion, and a former Pro Bowler, has excelled both on and off the field at the highest level.
