Brandon Graham's two sacks among NFL's best after Week 1

It seems Brandon Graham has picked up right where 2016 left off.

The former Michigan star has developed into one of the NFL's top defensive linemen, and Graham kicked off the new season with two sacks of Washington QB Kirk Cousins in Philadelphia's 30-17 victory.

Only Jacksonville's Calais Campbell (four) had more sacks in Week 1.

Graham was second-team All-Pro last season for the Eagles, who made him a first-round draft pick back in 2010. At Michigan, Graham had 29.5 career sacks and was an All-American in 2009.

In his eighth NFL season, Graham now has 31 career sacks.
